Applications are now open for Innovate with nbn® Grants Program to support regional and remote businesses.
Businesses throughout regional and remote Australia often face numerous challenges. Whether it be related to their relative isolation, or simply finding ways of promoting themselves – finding a path to success can be hard.
It’s through these times of adversity that many of these businesses have found not only a deep resolve and determination, but a vast amount of innovation and creativity.
As the organisation behind Australia’s digital backbone, they decided to develop the Innovate with nbn Grants Program in partnership with the Regional Australia Institute (RAI). Now in its fourth year, the program will again recognise and showcase regional and remote businesses.
Grant Categories
This year the Innovate with nbn Grants Program offers seven specific categories and an overall Champion award.
- Women in Regional Business
- Health
- Arts
- Education
- Agriculture
- Tourism
- Indigenous Business
Funding Information
- The program will award one grant of $15,000 to an organisation or business project aligned with each of the above categories.
- Additionally, one regional/remote business will be recognised and awarded with the ‘Innovate with nbn® Champion award’ worth an additional $20,000.
- Keep in mind that you can only apply to one category and you’ll need an Australian Business Number (ABN) to qualify.
