Promoting Digital Business in Northern Inland NSW

Regional Development Australia Northern Inland (RDANI) with the help of local digital economy experts from Attentive Consulting is developing a Digital Economy Strategy for Business and is keen to ensure that organisations across the region capture the benefits of high-speed broadband. As part of the development of the Strategy, free Digital Business Consultations and Digital Awareness and Innovation Workshops are being held across the region for local enterprise and not-for-profit organisations.

RDANI Executive Officer, Nathan Axelsson explains, “We are looking to consult with local organisations that are already taking part in the emerging digital economy. We can learn from the experiences of these businesses, incorporate their ideas in the Digital Economy Strategy and promote their digital business success stories as case studies for other organisations across the region to learn from in moving their business online.” You are invited to RSVP to one of the following Digital Business Consultation sessions or to book a consultation via phone or desktop video conference by emailing rda@attentiveconsulting.com.au.
