The Small Business Digital Champions Project

About the Project

The Small Business Digital Champions Project is an Australian Government initiative intended to inspire and equip Australian small businesses to thrive in the digital economy.

The Project aims to make it easier for small businesses to adopt digital technology, and to encourage engagement with digital technology. With support and inspiration to engage with digital technology, small businesses can unlock their potential and become more effective, competitive and ultimately, more profitable.
