Small Business Digital Grants Program – June 2019

The Small Business Digital Grants Program can assist small businesses to access digital technologies and services to help them work smarter, engage with the global economy and make the most of online business opportunities arising from digital disruption.

Available Funding

Matched funding of up to $10,000 (excluding GST) may be provided to eligible businesses for the purchase of hardware, software and services (such as digital marketing strategy). Digital strategy can mean so many things to so many different businesses.  One area that could be of interest is how you can best leverage LinkedIn

• digital planning, digital marketing strategy development, and digital training
• specialised digital technology and/or business specific software
• content development (web pages, mobile apps, visual and audio media etc.)
