The Regional Growth Showcase 2022 is a one-hour online event to build awareness and celebrate the key digital and innovation projects happening across Victoria. The Showcase shares how the Regional Digital Fund has supported local communities across four themes - Connectivity, Digital Hubs, Digital Health, and Digital Inclusion.
Following the success of last year's Regional Growth Showcase, this year’s Showcase will focus on updates from the amazing projects and a networking session to make new connections across the Victoria Regional Partnerships and Local Government Authorities.

Event Overview
The Regional Growth Showcase 2022 will provide an update from the State Government of Victoria (Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions) on the 29 different digital innovation projects across Victoria, with the aim of building awareness and allowing the key organisations and individuals involved in the projects to network with each other and connect with fellow industry peers. It will highlight four projects based around the key themes (Connectivity, Digital Hubs, Digital Health, Digital Inclusion) and also includes a session on ‘Demographic and Economic Disruption’ from Economist Rob Hall of Informed Decisions.

The key aims of the Regional Growth Showcase are to :
Build awareness around the key digital and innovation projects across Victoria
Champion the regional projects and teams
Connect project teams with the wider community
Support innovation and business growth
Connect local ecosystems and build further collaboration
What will the Showcase highlight?
Experience the benefits of connecting with the regional community.
We want to build awareness around the key organisations and individuals involved in the projects to encourage further collaboration amongst the regional community.
Our goal is to curate a community of like-minded business leaders who come together around common challenges and ambitions to build better business outcomes.
The success of the Regional Growth Project is measured by growing the number of healthy, sustainable and scalable businesses throughout Regional Australia. We want to create the opportunity for you to connect with your regional peers and share your actionable stories to impact the regional economy.
Through new and reinvigorated connections, collaborations and inspiring stories we can build a thriving network of regional champions, ultimately increasing the competitiveness of regional and rural communities.
