More than 100 people from small and medium business and the ICT sector have attended industry briefing sessions on the Digital Partnerships Program grants.

The briefings in Alice Springs and Darwin provided a detailed overview of the program, which aims to support the local ICT industry to build capacity and create jobs, foster partnerships between the Territory’s ICT sector and other local industries, and encourage the development of innovative digital solutions to meet local challenges and support economic growth; a key action within the Digital Territory Strategy.
