On Wednesday night, 20 Feb 08, the Innovation Building at Digital Harbour was buzzing with entrepreneurs and business owners wanting to find out how they could maximise their returns by accessing different State or Federal Grants available to small to medium businesses in Australia.

Mr Ivan Kaye, Director BSI shared his knowledge on accessing EMDG Grants, saying that both the State and Federal Governments are lending not just ... support but financial assistance to help business export their products to a global market. 'There really is a lot of money out there - and it's easy!'
