Who: Goldstein Small Business Owners & Managers
‘There will not be a sustained economic recovery without a recovery of small businesses, and at this point they are on their knees. They are an essential element of the fabric of Australia and employ millions of Australians. They are the most innovative of our businesses and the developers of new technologies in our country. Small businesses are increasingly fundamental to our overall export performance, too. In 2022, they are “the sheep’s back”.’ John Hewson, The Saturday Paper, 15 Jan 2022.
Goldstein is a thriving economic community of influential small and large business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals across professional and creative services, science and R&D, manufacturing, digital and technology, health, education, hospitality, media, sport, the arts, real estate, and retail ready to embrace the immense business and job opportunities that a renewable climate economy presents. However, many Goldstein businesses affected by the COVID crisis also understand that without healthy people we cannot have healthy businesses, supply chains, economies, and societies.
