Future-U and TextTube Futures Studio founders gather in Southbank at Brisbane’s impressive forward-thinking Entrepreneur Haus

Not far from GOMA and Brisbane’s trendy Soutbank precinct is Daniel Ngo’s Entrepreneur Haus (EH), home to a growing number of budding entrepreneurs making their mark in and around the container design of the interior. 11 December saw a summit of sorts; the founders of each of Future-U www<<we load this for you, TextTube Futures Studio www<<you load this for us made presentations with a view to building alliances and expanding communities. For Jonathan Nalder of Future-U, EH is a new venue for his bi-monthly gatherings in which mind-mapping and other innovative techniques are used to get people thinking about future Brisbane. Delighted with the choice, Nalder sees this as the beginning of a "A forum and way for brisbanites to begin contributing their ideas of what a preferred Brisbane future looks like”
Supported by relationships and partnerships director Robert Scott, David Wright, founder and curator of TextTube Futures Studios TTFS  and its f3 event excited the audience with his vision to bring ‘Experiential Futures’ to an audience drawn from academia, entertainment and media. The mandate of TTFS is to equip individuals and entities to visualise, capture and render across diverse media its preferred futures by drawing on tools and techniques unique to the discipline of Future Studies.


The owner and founder of Entrepreneur Haus, Daniel Ngo has designed and built from ground up a co-working space which delivers an environment conducive to the creative thinking needed in today’s digital business world. Additions such as the photo booth are but one of the features he has thought of to differentiate this space from the many in central Brisbane.
The catered event lasted two hours with Q&A and saw an audience of 30 individuals from academia, design, education, photography. The momentum has gathered enough for discussion on a larger-scale structured event to be held early 2018.
