The excitement is building as a diverse group of 46 businesses from across Gippsland compete for the 2024 Federation University Gippsland Business Awards.

Categories include Accommodation, Beauty and Personal Care, Business and Professional Services, Food and Wine Producers, Health and Well-being, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Innovation, Mechanical Trades and Construction, New Business, Retail, and Tourism Activities and Attractions.

The category winners will be revealed at the grand gala presentation event on Friday, August 30, at Federation University’s Gippsland campus in Churchill.

The LVA is again sponsoring the Innovation category because that’s kind of our jam – we know our region’s future will be built on new ways of doing things and we want to recognise businesses that have successfully implemented innovative technology, products, or services to overcome challenges and grow their operations.

Finalists in the Innovation category are: Native Seed Box (Wonthaggi), Platinum Media (Traralgon), and REDfusion Studios (Drouin). Go Gippsland Innovators and good luck!!
