About the Hub
The NENA Melbourne Hub advocates and facilitates the development of shared projects and initiatives that build the ‘new economy’ in Melbourne.
We meet for discussions, organise events, meetings, film screenings and other activities that bring people together to promote and support the development of the new economy. We share info about NENA’s work with ‘Melbournians’ and feed our Hub’s work back into the NENA network.
