Innovate with NBN - 2022

As the organisation behind Australia’s digital backbone, nbn co decided to develop the Innovate with nbn Grants Program in partnership with the Regional Australia Institute (RAI). Now in its third year, the program will again recognise and showcase regional and remote businesses.

They are looking for digital businesses in regional and remote Australia who live and breathe technology and are:

• Harnessing the benefits of the nbn network to enable regional Australians to live, learn and work in a digital society
• Innovative digital businesses challenging traditional markets in regional Australia
• Businesses who are lifting digital participation and stimulating regional economies
• Champions of digital adoption for regional and remote communities

This year the Innovate with nbn Grants Program offers seven specific categories and an overall Champion award:

• Women in Regional Business
• Health
• Arts
• Educaiton
• Agriculture
• Tourism
• Indigenous Business

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.
