CONNECT. LEARN. GROW. 

We help creatives of Western Sydney to build sustainable careers and businesses, through innovation and entrepreneurship. Our events, content and training programs foster new connections between people, ideas and technology.

OUR STORY

We believe that the unique perspectives and voices of Western Sydney’s creatives can elevate our communities, find global audiences, and guide us into a complex and volatile future.

Most creatives struggle to forge careers and businesses that are sustainable. But, those challenges are even more pronounced in Western Sydney.

Profound advances in technology offer a chance to overcome traditional inequities in funding and opportunity. But, failure to embrace and adapt could, in fact, compound those disadvantages.

To succeed, our creatives need to connect, learn and grow. They need supportive, local networks that overcome their isolation, help them be more entrepreneurial and take advantage of new tech and emerging business models.

Launch Pad Creative exists to help our creatives innovate by connecting them to ideas, tools, themselves, and each other.
