Liverpool, NSW encourages startup business development with Centre for Civic Innovation pilot
Liverpool, NSW Centre for Civic Innovation Pilot Startup
The city used a Central Business District storefront to facilitate a two-month pilot with the CCI and its partners. Local entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders detailed their startup concepts on a dedicated ideas wall. CCI advisors connected visitors to public and private organizations that could turn ideas into reality. The pilot sought to lower barriers to local businesses filling service gaps in the current market.
