Tonsley Connections July event

Tonsley Connections Winter Gathering

The Deputy Premier, the Honourable Susan Close MP attends Tonsley Connections

Tonsley Connections, is a wonderful opportunity for members of the rapidly growing Tonsley Community to get together and network amongst fellow peers and to get the latest details about what’s next for the Tonsley Innovation District.

At our July event we had the pleasure of hearing from, the Honourable Susan Close MP at our Tonsley Connections winter gathering, speaking to a full house at La Loft Hotel Tonsley.

Dr Close’s ministerial portfolios of Climate, Environment and Water, Industry, Innovation and Science, and Defence and Space Industries hold major relevance to the work being done across Tonsley Innovation District’s four focus sectors, and it was wonderful to hear her insights and encouragement of Tonsley businesses to continue to be market leaders.

Tonsley Innovation District has a dynamic history of creating collision spaces where ideas can evolve into groundbreaking concepts and products that revolutionise entire industries. Networking events like these are an ideal place for this to occur.

Thank you to everyone who attended the evening including Federal Member for Boothby Louise Miller-Frost MP and City of Marion Mayor, Kris Hanna and of course La Loft Hotel for its hospitality.
