Innovate with nbn® Grants Program is calling for applications to support regional and remote businesses in Australia.
Categories
-
This year the Innovate with nbn Grants Program offers seven specific categories and an overall Champion award.
- Women in Regional Business: The Connecting Australia research shows a rise in Australian women bringing their ideas to the fore and starting their own businesses – and they want to help these savvy professionals to turn their dreams into reality.
- Health: When it comes to health care services, there’s new levels of innovation that are driving better health outcomes across Australia. They are looking for businesses working in this space with digital ideas that are not only innovative, but aim to improve access to health solutions for regional and remote Australians.
- Arts: The arts and cultural communities throughout regional Australia are brimming with people from all walks of life. They’re looking for businesses run by artists who continue to deliver exciting content, and use technology to bring their passion to life – engaging with audiences both domestically and internationally.
- Education: With education becoming more accessible online, and the pandemic years forcing a shift to digital and remote learning – the need for innovate educational solutions has never been more important. They’re looking for businesses who are harnessing technology to provide flexible online learning options that deliver innovative educational outcomes in regional areas.
- Agriculture: Digital agriculture is the future of farming, with the potential to add $20.3 billion to the value of the Australian agriculture industry by the year 2030.
- Tourism: Through initiatives like the Innovate with nbn Grants Program, tourism businesses can showcase their digital abilities and expand their online opportunities and reach.
- Indigenous business: They’re looking for Indigenous business owners who embrace innovation and have bold ideas on how to create digital solutions. If you’re an Indigenous-owned enterprise, or a tech company partnering with Indigenous remote communities – they’d like to hear from you.
