Fairbridge has been privileged to be asked to attend the G20 in Brisbane from Monday 10th – Friday 14th November. Elle Banks the Event Manager G20 Innovation Hub: Beyond Business As Usual made the comment: “We think it’s important to have Fairbridge join us as they are recognised as the most recognisable and successful social enterprise operating in WA. We think that it’s important to showcase what you do to not only other states but internationally so that people may learn from the models, outcomes and sustainable relationships you have created throughout all three sectors of government, business and community.” At the G20 we will be involved in the Innovation Hub: Innovation Marketplace. Tuesday 11 – Friday 14 November, 2014. The Innovation Marketplace will be the epicentre of the Hub, where the community can watch, listen and interact with social business innovators.
