Enterprize

Enterprize is Tasmania's startup space.

We are making an impact on the Tasmanian economy by supporting entrepreneurs in the very first stages of building and running innovative, high growth potential businesses.

We do this through education programs, collaborative workspaces, mentor networks, and public events.

Our community includes startup founders, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, creatives, specialists and generalists; who all bring and find value in being part of the startup ecosystem.
