City of Greater Bendigo

Bendigo has long prospered from inventions and innovations and the City is proud to support the Bendigo Invention + Innovation Festival to ensure our reputation as a forward-thinking City of the Future is reinforced.   Council is committed to creating an environment where businesses, organisations and individuals alike can work together to unlock new economic opportunities, encourage the development of niche complementary businesses and foster a strong and diverse economy for Greater Bendigo.  If necessity is the mother of invention, then it is necessary as a community that we support new ideas wherever possible and encourage creative minds to turn an idea into a reality, as we work to promote Bendigo’s reputation as a regional innovation hotspot.
