A Woman Walked into a Workshop One Day!The introductory line of a joke? No.The reality is far from that…..it was the catalyst for a pivotal event in a tech-startup business’s development.
The woman was Leanne Linard, MP for Nudgee and a Minister in the State Government, who visited the Voltin workshop in 2020 to connect with local SMEs.
Her visit was unexpected, unplanned and had unforeseen consequences. Leanne was visiting recipients of the State Government 2020 COVID Adaption Grants program in her electorate. It wasn’t the $10,000 grant payment that was transformative: it was the advice she gave to the Voltin Directors. After the business briefing, she suggested that Voltin should contact the ARMHub and explore the possible synergy between the two entities.
