Supporting entrepreneurship and innovation is vital to regional and rural areas, as it has the potential to boost local economies. Local talent and other resources are developed and retained, preventing rural populations from declining and allowing these economies to be more selfsufficient and resilient.
The Rocket Seeder team looks forward to receiving applications from new businesses (ideally less than 3 years old) in the North East and South West regions of Victoria. They are looking for ‘innovative’ product or service businesses from across the food and/or agriculture value chain. For examples, please see a list of their 40 alumni teams on their website.
