Hub Australia has welcomed 31 businesses into it’s 2019 Flexi-Impact program, providing workspaces and networking opportunities to growing purpose-driven businesses.
What is an purpose-driven business?
Purpose-driven businesses work to change the world for the better.
Whether it’s a Not-for-profit, an environmental organisation, social movement organisation or anything else along similar veins, being purpose-driven is woven into an organisation’s being, shaping their morals, vision, goals and outcomes.
What is the Flexi-Impact program?
Each year, Hub Australia offers a number of complimentary 12-month Flexi Impact memberships across all of our sites (currently in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide).
The memberships provided give 24/7 access to one Hub location for 2019, as well as letting them connect with our growing community of over 2000 members and thrive through all Hub’s networking and professional development events.
Who are this year’s Flexi Impact members?
