The issue

Our stimulus does not consider the Innovation Sector. This includes start up companies, incubators, accelerators, scale-up/high growth companies and more.

Many of these businesses do not qualify for the current stimulus. We appreciate the work our government is doing to lead us through this challenging time, however we can't forget about the Australian start-up community and the Innovation sector. We can use digital and innovative platforms and solutions to respond now and directly contribute to the growth of our economy in recovery.

Entrepreneurs are tenacious and resilient. The stimulus couldn't be going to a better place. These are businesses that know how to run lean. They know how to work in tough times. They actually stand a better chance of coming out the other side and contributing to growth. Not to mention many are digital and can still operate.

Support the future of Australia's Innovation.
