    Developments in strategy and policy Australian Government: Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme The new Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme was announced in the 2014 15 Budget, as part of the Government’s $1.4 billion package (over four years) to facilitate business competitiveness. The Programme started on 1 July 2014. About the Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme The $484.2 million Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme aims is to improve the capabilities of small to medium enterprises to become more self reliant, competitive and grow. The Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme offers three broad streams: • Business Management; • Research Connections; and • Commercialising Ideas. Support will be provided in a range of forms, such as: • One-on-one advice from people with relevant private sector experience; • Small co-contributions for re-engineering or growth opportunities for business; and • Connection and collaboration opportunities. The Programme is being delivered through the new Single Business Service initiative. Single Business Service streamlines the way businesses access industry information and services by putting their needs first - reducing red tape and providing quality, consistent services at the lowest possible cost. Consultation with stakeholders including peak industry bodies, businesses, governments, and the research sector on the Programme occurred in June. Services currently available under the Programme The Business Evaluation and Business Growth Grant elements of the Programme were launched on 1 July 2014. Eligible businesses can now request a business evaluation to improve business performance, and business growth grants to implement key recommendations. Next steps Services under the Research Connections stream will be available from 1 September 2014, and the Commercialising Ideas stream will be available from 1 November 2014. This phased approach balances the need for continuity of services while allowing further time for programme design and input from consultation. The Department is currently analysing submissions as well as issues raised at the various roadshows used to inform stakeholders about the Programme. This analysis will inform design of the future elements of the Programme.
