Merri-bek Bold Business Gathering

A Gathering for Merri-bek’s Bold Businesses, Thinkers and Doers

Merri-bek is where innovation, community and sustainability thrive together. We believe the future favours the bold, and we’re bringing together Merri-bek’s innovators, entrepreneurs, creators, change-makers and future-focused businesses — the people who are pushing boundaries, blending industries and doing things differently.

Whether you're into health, medtech, synbio, circular economy, envirotech, sustainability, creative industries — or building or doing something that doesn’t fit into a neat box — we want you in the room.

Why come?

• Meet like-minded people doing bold things

• Find collaborators, mentors, and new ideas

• Share stories, challenges, and inspiration

• Help shape a business community that’s bold, diverse, and connected

Bold businesses — innovative, future-focused, and purpose-driven — do more than drive the economy. They create jobs, spark new industries, build community, and give people purpose. Merri-bek is fast becoming the home for businesses that don’t just adapt to the future — they shape it.

If you’re building something new, doing things differently, or just curious — come along.

We’ll also be joined by Lisa Hui, Senior Investment and Engagement Officer at Invest Victoria. Lisa will give us a brief overview of the core characteristics a Bold Business needs to gain government support.
