Applications for the 2022 Innovate with NBN Grants Program are now open.
Now in its third year, the initiative aims to help regional based businesses and individuals transform their great ideas into game-changing achievements.
Run in partnership with the Regional Australia Institute (RAI), the Innovate with nbn® Grants Program is part of nbn’s commitment to lift the digital capability of people and businesses in regional Australia.
Last year we received many applications from businesses right across regional Australia who are doing wonderful things digitally enabled by the nbn.
Among them is the 2021 Innovate with nbn Champion Bitlink - their gadget packed Internet of Things (IoT) kit, supported by online videos and internet interactivity, is designed to open the eyes of primary school students to the possibilities of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers by allowing them to get hands-on with technology in the classroom in a fun and engaging way.
There is $125,000 in total funding up for grabs to support regional and remote businesses drive the development and adoption of their ideas.
Across seven categories – Agriculture, Arts, Education, Health, Indigenous Business, Tourism, and Women in Regional Business – each winner receives $15,000.
The overall Innovate with nbn® Champion will be awarded an additional $20,000 grant to help take their idea to the next level.
We are looking for businesses that are harnessing the benefits of the nbn® network to develop products or solutions that improve digital participation, productivity or social outcomes for regional and remote Australians.
APPLY NOW HERE! - The closing date for applications is midnight Sunday 20th November.
