A Message from the Chief Minister
With more than 20,000 private sector businesses, ranging from multinationals to micro-businesses and everything in between, Canberra has emerged as a unique and powerful regional economy.
Businesses are always looking to improve the way they operate, particularly smaller companies and start-ups that don't have access to the networks, information and professional services that larger businesses systematically tap into. That's why the ACT Government has put in place a new service to bridge this gap.
Canberra BusinessPoint, which the ACT Government has contracted with Deloitte Growth Solutions to deliver, is a new initiative and the ACT Government's primary assistance initiative for the Canberra business community.
The service contains a comprehensive suite of activities, including business development resources, one-on-one mentoring, a range of online tools and a series of networking events. The service will also provide advice and assistance to companies looking to expand their export focus, commercialise new and emerging technologies and encourage the development of entrepreneurs.
But the service isn't just available for micro businesses and start-ups. It has been designed to support companies at all stages of their development, particularly high growth firms and Canberra's many technology-based companies that have grown from our extraordinary research base.
What's more, the services available through Canberra BusinessPoint are all free of charge.
It gives me great pleasure to join with Deloitte Growth Solutions in presenting Canberra BusinessPoint to the businesses of Canberra.
