Federal Member for Mitchell, the Hon Alex Hawke MP, said the Coalition Government is committed to fostering a more innovative and creative Australian economy. This means ensuring that start-ups and early stage businesses can access the funding they need to help them develop their ideas and grow.
Crowdfunding is an emerging way for early stage businesses to raise funds and access a wider range of investors, and for investors to share in the risks and successes of these businesses.
Federal Member for Mitchell, the Hon Alex Hawke MP, welcomed the Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda, which will drive business growth, increase entrepreneurship and forge closer links between research and industry for the Hills district.
“This agenda reaches across the economy and into towns, cities and businesses of all sizes to harness our innovation potential and great ideas now to secure our future prosperity and quality of life,” Alex Hawke said.
