2026 Social Enterprise Series

The Social Enterprise Series explores the realities of purpose-driven business. Led by our inaugural Expert in Residence, Eloise Hall – founder of TABOO, the social enterprise on a mission to eradicate period poverty in Australia – this series goes deep into the world of social entrepreneurship. Across events, conversations and showcases, we’ll unpack social enterprise business models, go behind the scenes with founders, explore financial and funding structures, and build the mindset and capability to design solutions through a social enterprise lens.
