Sunshine Coast Business Awards

The Sunshine Coast is often referred to as the ‘entrepreneurial capital’ of Australia with more than 43,000 small businesses, employing fewer than 20 people and contributing greater than 50% of all employment in the region. During Small Business Month we come together to share, learn and grow these businesses and celebrate success stories from across our region.

Our annual Queensland Small Business Month 2026 breakfast is the perfect forum to join your fellow small business professionals in sharing stories of success, strategies for growth and to reflect on the past 12 months. We are also delighted to welcome our 2026 Panel Speakers:

Tim Kelly - Manufacturing Excellence Forum Sunshine Coast

Teneille Newton - Noosa Black Garlic

Jonny Giles - The Beach Bars

We invite you to join 300 other Sunshine Coast business leaders for networking, insights and celebration as past Sunshine Coast Business Awards winners share their business journey.

This event will also officially launch the 2026 Sunshine Coast Business Awards.

Be inspired, be uplifted and be reassured that you are not alone in your business journey. We look forward to seeing you there!

This event is proudly presented by the Sunshine Coast Business Awards, Sunshine Coast Council, and Regional Development Australia Moreton Bay & Sunshine Coast.
