Innovate with NBN - 2024

As the organisation behind Australia’s digital backbone, nbn decided to develop the Innovate with nbn Grants Program in partnership with the Regional Australia Institute (RAI). Now in its fifth 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 the traditional markets in regional Australia
• Businesses who are lifting digital participation and stimulating regional economies
• Champions of digital adoption for regional and remote communities

Applications will only be eligible if you:

• are connected to the nbn network
• are located in regional Australia
• have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• have an Australian bank account (corresponding to the ABN)
• apply for one category

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

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