What Comes Next?

Join the Movement
If any of what we’ve shared in this series has resonated with you – if you’ve found yourself nodding along, or feeling that familiar fire in your belly – then we want to invite you to get involved.
We’re not here to build something for ourselves. We’re here for the region – for the people, communities, and businesses that call this place home. And we believe that real change happens when we stop working in silos, and start working together.

It’s Time for a Different Way of Working
Too often, we see brilliant people doing good work – but doing it alone. Operating in isolation, stuck in systems that pit us against each other, as if we’re in competition. That mindset belongs to an old economy – one built on individual gain, not collective wellbeing.
At 4theRegion, we believe in something different. We believe in collaboration, generosity, openness. In the idea that when we share what we’re working on, when we really listen to each other, and when we find ways to align our efforts – everyone benefits.

You’re Not On Your Own
Whatever you’re working on – a business idea, a community project, a new campaign, a piece of research – there’s space for it in this movement. And there are others who want to help.
Come along to one of our events. Have a conversation. Talk about what you’re doing. Share your challenges. Listen to what others are up to. Let’s explore how we can support each other – not just in words, but through practical collaboration.

Become a Member
Our members are at the heart of everything we do. Becoming a member means you want to be part of this regional movement – contributing your voice, your energy, and your insight to help shape a better future.
As a member, you can:
Join one of our mission-led steering groups (focussed on things like local supply chains, youth empowerment, the green economy, and more)
Share updates and opportunities through our network
Help co-create the projects and partnerships that will shape the region’s future
And more than anything, membership is a commitment – to collaboration, to shared values, and to being part of something bigger than yourself.

This isn’t about ticking boxes or delivering short-term outputs. It’s about long-term transformation. And it starts with us – showing up, opening up, and working together.
So – what are you working on? What do you care about? What’s your vision for the future of this region?
Let’s talk.

It’s a whole-system approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities we face, and everyone has a part to play.
Thank you for getting involved!
