1. Government Support for R&D
Ready to innovate? Think government R&D support is only for big companies? Think again! Government support is available for any business doing R&D.

Learn the easy way to access free advice on the R&D Tax Incentive and New to R&D Grant, available through Innovation Services at MBIE.

2. Subsidised Management Training (RBP)
Want to sharpen your leadership skills, develop a new strategy or hone your sales skills? Find out how the Regional Business Partner Network can subsidise your management training—helping you build capability without breaking the budget.
