Start Up, Invest and Grow returns in May, with a month of events for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to build skills, network and stay ahead in today's fast-moving world.
As Victoria's second-largest employment hub, Monash is home to leading innovation centres and precincts. Start Up, Invest and Grow gives you access to these powerful networks and expertise.
Elevate your business
Chaminda De Silva, Director - Sales and Marketing for Softlogic Australia, said last year's event was an outstanding success.
"The program brought together the vibrant business community within Monash," he said.
"It offered valuable insights into new marketing and digital strategies to elevate businesses to the next level."
