We are proud to support the Sunshine Coast Council with their Crafting a Circular Economy - Conversation series. Please find event description below:
Be part of the conversation and join the change makers crafting a more circular economy approach to business! The Crafting a Circular Conversation series stars serial collaborators who believe in challenging the status quo.
These are change makers from across the Sunshine Coast and beyond who are working to reduce waste, increase efficiencies, regenerate, and innovate - all while creating exceptional services, products, and business for good.
We are thrilled to announce episode #5 of the Crafting a Circular Economy event series which will incorporate the theme of Cleantech solutions, sustainability for profit and impactful innovation!
For our next exciting episode, we are joined by Jacqueline (Jac) Wilson Smith – strategist, collaborator and design-led innovator and founder of Sustainable Innovation Co, and Megyn Carpenter – strategist, educator, communicator and President of Cleantech Industries Sunshine Coast.

In 2019, Jac founded the Sustainable Innovation Company on a mission to catalyse impactful innovation. Jac works globally (global, local, and virtual) and aspires to be known as a pioneer of collaborative leadership, capable of mobilising people, teams, communities, and organisations to create better & radically change for good.
In addition, Jac is Co-Founder and past immediate Chair of Food Agribusiness Network (FAN) and a Non-Executive Director and Advisor on a number of boards, panels, and committees including Food Agility, Traveller's Choice, AgriFutures’ Rural Women's Award Alumni, Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation’s Circularity Group and QLD's Manufacturing Ministerial Committee.
