The South Australian Business Chamber, South Australia’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is launching an exciting new initiative for forward-thinking South Australian business leaders, aged 40 years and under.
The bespoke membership will be called the “ThirtyNiners” and will bring together future-focused leaders to collaborate, shape, share and learn.
The Chamber’s CEO, Andrew Kay says it’s important for the South Australian Business Chamber to be working closely with these young leaders.
“There is a wealth of young talent in the South Australian business community. We will provide the vehicle for them to learn from each other and find one voice that inspires, creates opportunity, and shapes the future of our state.
“The ThirtyNiners will collaborate with our team to enhance our advocacy agenda with government. The contribution these members make will endure well beyond their tenure as a ThirtyNiner.
The ThirtyNiners will forge deep connections with business leaders, politicians, other members of the Chamber and industry experts, whilst working with the South Australian Business Chamber’s team to drive thought leadership and future opportunities for the state.
“Much of the “new industry” we hear about in South Australia is being driven by this generation,“ Mr. Kay added.
“There is an entrepreneurial appetite and a belief that anything is possible on a global scale, while still being based in South Australia. Being a part of the ThirtyNiners taps into that collective mindset.”
This bold new initiative is receiving support from the South Australian Business Chamber’s membership base, with partnerships between Maras Group, Credit Union SA and Bailey Abbott who are invested in the long-term prosperity of South Australia.
ThirtyNiners has already received an overwhelming show of support from young business leaders. Luke Timmins of Adelaide and Hills Lawns and Gardens, and South Australia’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 joined as a foundation member upon learning about the membership.
“South Australia is poised for a remarkable breakthrough, offering an unprecedented chance to unlock the potential within our state — it’s ripe for the taking.
“With a blend of innovation, collaboration, and visionary leadership, the business community has the power to spearhead this charge, fostering a prosperous environment for all South Australians to thrive in,” said Mr Timmins.
ThirtyNiners will be officially launched at an event held at Light Adelaide on Tuesday 28 March 2023.
