Employment and Innovation Corridor

High-speed train, freeway-grade road, linkage proximity to Melbourne Airport, and 100-gig internet continues to attract highly-skilled professionals and leading creative businesses.
More affordable start-up infrastructure
A booming creative industries sector has generated strong local support services for start-ups. Bendigo’s Emporium Creative Hub, a co-working space for creatives, is one example of the region’s commitment to foster growth. Emporium boasts all the networking and connectivity advantages of a metro location while being more affordable.
Indigenous-led creative business
The Loddon Mallee seeks to continue to deepen its connection to, and respect for, First Nations communities. From increasing the visibility of Indigenous culture through art and language, to championing Indigenous creatives and Indigenous-led creative businesses, the region sees a future where Indigenous creativity plays a vital and defining role.
Super-fast internet
