Who We Are

Established in 1994, our purpose is to support the business community within the municipality of Melbourne. By facilitating connections, communication and collaboration between businesses, we contribute to the economic development of Melbourne.

Our network is driven by our members. We enable like-minded business owners, entrepreneurs and organisations to connect and build relationships … and develop and create new opportunities.

We have also created a learning and development platform that provides our members access to relevant, up-to-date content designed to get them back on the road to recovery post-COVID.

Created by thought leaders and subject matter experts, this content is there to help our members regardless of where they are on their business journey.

Our ethos is one of true collaboration, where different skillsets come together with a shared mindset to build and grow as a network.

Years of networking and connecting

MBN has been creating relationships and connecting businesses – large and small – and from across all sectors since 1994. Despite the changes that have taken place in how businesses engage with each other, MBN has maintained its mission to provide an environment that fosters relationships.

We acknowledge that as our world has become more highly digitised and that we need to enable businesses to engage and collaborate with each other online. So, just as we have created opportunities for our members to engage in person at our events, we have now created an environment for them to engage online.

As a member, you will now be able to find like-minded business owners and thought leaders to connect and share ideas with, to collaborate or work with and to learn or seek help from. That is our objective for each and every member and our community.

Business Health Check

MBN has invested in a business assessment tool which enables you to better understand what areas of your business require improvement and where new opportunities lie. Our Business Health Check will allow you to identify and determine future change and distribute your resources effectively.

Engage

MBN runs both off and online events for members. These provide members the opportunity to connect and engage with other businesses in order to generate business opportunities, grow referrals, support each other and just catch up socially.

Collaborate

MBN has invested in an online learning and development platform which enables businesses to collaborate and support each other. Here subject and business experts can share content which helps our members improve their businesses … not to mention every aspect of their lives.

Business Opportunities

MBN is seeking to continuously grow its membership base and foster an environment that helps businesses engage with each other. If your organisation is looking to create long term relationships, JV partnerships, referral systems or simply help each other, MBN will work with you to ensure you achieve your objectives.
