Entrepreneurs from around Australia will flock to Adelaide next week as part of the city\u2019s commitment to becoming a startup hot-spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entrepreneur\u2019s Week 2015 is a collaboration between the Adelaide Entrepreneurship Forum, Brand South Australia, Adelaide City Council, the state government and a range of stakeholders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The festival aims to showcase South Australia\u2019s startup ecosystem and provide budding entrepreneurs with the resources and networks to start their own business.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paul Daly, convenor of the Adelaide Entrepreneurship Forum, said in a statement <\/i>Adelaide is the perfect place to host a startup festival due to the city\u2019s small but active community of tech-enabled businesses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a fair bit in place but there\u2019s a whole lot of new things starting up,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the G20 Young Entrepreneurs summit in Sydney we were cited as the city that had the best co-ordinated approach to entrepreneurs. And at the moment I think we\u2019re on the cusp of some really exciting things \u2013 there\u2019s certainly advantages to the size of Adelaide. It\u2019s a cohesive community and you can trial new businesses at reasonable costs and take feedback before launching nationally or internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daly says promoting the local startup community helps everyone from investors to other stakeholders feel part of a larger ecosystem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional industries are under real pressure \u2013 the closure of Holden is a dark cloud over the state,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou begin to realise people developing new businesses focused on the future are the future of Adelaide and South Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 95 programs available to South Australian entrepreneurs \u2013 a few driven by government, others by universities and many by entrepreneurs themselves,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThese include accelerator programs to help bring new products to market, co-working spaces that encourage collaboration and business support to help grow new businesses. Entrepreneurship is thriving in Adelaide, which is a very good sign for the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs\u2019 Week will also include the second SouthStart 2015 conference, with speakers such as Shark Tank investor Stephen Baxter and OneShift founder Gen George.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chhai Thach, event founder and director of Adelaide\u2019s first co-working space Majoran Distillery, previously told StartupSmart<\/i> SouthStart will be about showcasing local startups and encouraging locals to come up with great business ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want them to come and connect with the local community here,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe more people that know about startups and get excited, the more people will get interested and inspired to start something new this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs\u2019 Week 2015 will run from February 2-6.<\/p>\n
