The digital economy is already transforming life in regional Australia, from the way we access services including health, education and government, to the way we work and live.
There are significant competitive advantages for regional businesses that participate in the digital economy that can be achieved through generating efficiencies in business operations, increased productivity and the ability to access new markets.
With NBN and Mobile coverage businesses can benefit from relocating to Glen Innes Highlands by reduced rents, less commuting times for workers and a more stable workforce.
Microbusiness in our region can also benefit by accessing a much greater market through digital platforms.
