Business Innovation Hub
The Business Innovation Hub is located on Level One of the Gawler Civic Centre. The Hub is a commercially-focused, flexible co-working space occupied by businesses that are intent on wealth generation as well as local and regional job creation. It's a vibrant, welcoming space that exudes a sense of business purpose, innovation, resilience and success. Local and regional investment and job creation are key outcomes to be achieved by the Hub and its commercial focus provides the opportunity to achieve these goals.
