About Us

The ACT Government offers business development support to Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the Territory through the Business Development Branch, part of the Economic Development Directorate. We can equip you with a variety of assistance measures to help your business start, grow and prosper. We can also provide you with advice on how to conduct effective transactions with the ACT and Australian Governments.

Business Development supports:

  • small business establishment, operation and development;
  • the development of strategically important industry sectors;
  • activities which encourage commercialisation of Canberra's significant pool of Intellectual Property;
  • the internationalisation of businesses;
  • matters relating to skills shortages, through programs such as the ACT Skilled and Business Migration Program;
  • innovation across all business sectors; and
  • economic development across the broader Capital Region.
