The Business Innovation Program supports local start-ups to attract new investment, and established businesses to accelerate growth, while diversifying and developing our local innovation ecosystem.

All applicants of the Business Innovation Program must nominate an advisor to work with them through the develpment and comercialisation of their innovation.
