Projects
As well as offering a range of programs for our community, we also are working on various projects that will provide further support and education to small businesses within the North-East.

Launching or running a business in the digital era can be overwhelming. Where do you find the info you need? And how do you know you can trust it?
Welcome to Click Region!
Click Region inspires and educates small businesses to feel confident in the digital space: from simple things like turning on bluetooth right through to more complex matters like cyber security.
It’s an easy-to-navigate education platform (phew!) with online tools and programs to grow your digital confidence and grow your business.
And it’s all delivered in short, sharp bursts so you can learn just what you need, when you need it, without leaving your business.
Digital Confidence Project
Understanding Small Businesses with North East Victoria
Startup Shakeup supports work on Digital Capacity for small businesses throughout North East Victoria.
Succeeding in the new online world relies on digital inclusion, and our region has had poor ratings in digital ability, access and affordability. However, whilst we have had demographic information from the Australian Digital Inclusion Index, we knew nothing bar anecdotal information about the digital literacy of those in business.
So we did some research measuring the digital literacy of those working in SMEs across the region. We then took these results to inform responses that enable every business to access & use digital tools effectively.
The project was funded by the Regional Digital Fund (Department of Jobs, Precincts, and Regions) and was done in partnership with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society at RMIT and the Centre for Social Impact Swinburne supported by Telstra.
