The only way we can hope to do this is learning to collaborate beyond normal company boundaries. Part of that learning is also a recognition that disruptive growth models need to be embraced,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Olsen said The Capital was a smart collaborative space for investors and entrepreneurs interested in finding more efficient and smarter ways of doing business.\u00a0\u201cIn a digital ecosystem companies such as EarthCheck can find ways to collaborate with entrepreneurial partners located anywhere from next door to across the globe,\u201d Mr Olsen said.<\/p>\n<p>EarthCheck will run strategy, sustainability and business development programs and one-on-one mentoring for emerging and evolving\u00a0 tourism enterprises from across Australia.\u00a0\u201cOne of the defining differences in the EarthCheck network is that we already have corporate clients across the world who are hungry for new ideas,\u201d Mr Olsen said.<\/p>\n<p>An initiative of the Brisbane City Council, The Capital, a collaborative space occupying three levels in the Queen Street Mall and occupied by Australia\u2019s largest startup space operator, Fishburners and co-working space Little Tokyo Two, is already home to 200 start-ups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New
