Our regional offices work with local entrepreneurs, start-ups and existing businesses to encourage growth through innovation and into export markets. Our regional offices work closely with key partners in the delivery of this support.

We are keen to hear from entrepreneurs who want to start, build, or scale new businesses or ideas; so, if you have an idea for a new business, a new product, service, business model or a new market opportunity, we can help.

The Regional Business Group can provide guidance or both financial assistance for ambitious entrepreneurs planning to export or already exporting their product or service.
