A catalyst for business in Ryde

Ryde is Australia's innovation destination; home to switched-on, growing small businesses and some of the world's best known brands in IT, pharmaceuticals and electronics. We're NSW's fastest-growing city, home to more than 13,000 businesses. So how do you connect?

Through Ryde Business Forum, our services and our events. We have educational, networking and keynote speaker events targetted at both small business and large corporates. 

We hope you can join us at some or all of these events, and get to know your fellow members better - you never know when someone's going to give a referral for you, and they ideally need to know you before they can recommend you. The more you mix with members, the more recommendations you make!

September events include:
