 Digital Hub members – anecdotal information (free text field)
Would you like to provide any additional information?

I strongly believe the Digital hub brings huge value for the local area by connecting people, helping educate young local people interested to work in the
industry. the Hub and its environment have a family also professional vibe

The quality of people the hub attracts is a major benefit for getting quality tech people to the region

Chris has played a key role in the successful operation of the hub.

Provides a unique environment where one can share ideas and collaborate. Really good for mental health as sole trader to be around others in the same
situation that can help each other balance out. Sometimes even a coffee just means a lot

I am deadset a fan of Chris Boden. It cannot be understated the incredible importance of the person leading an innovation centre. It is the definitive make or
break aspect of any innovation centre. In my experience Chris Boden is the best leader of an innovation centre I have seen.

Really enjoyed working at the hub and the continued commitment by Noosa council to invest in the digital economy.

My experience has only been positive from joining the hub in 2019. In my view it's not just a co-working space like many others but a centre for innovation
and technology excellence attracting some of the brightest people and entrepreneurs in Australia. It is helping to create the industries of the future not only
for the Sunshine Coast but also Australia and the rest of the world. New and exciting emerging companies are being born and fostered every day at the Digital
Hub, many of which will undoubtedly become global unicorns. With inspiring mentors Chris Boden and his team, I am excited to continue be part of as well as
contribute to this community and eco system for many years to come.
