Call for delivery partners to help small and family businesses harness AI

Could your organisation help SA small and family businesses explore the benefits of AI?

We’re calling for experienced service providers to deliver a new program that will help small and family businesses build confidence and capability in AI.

The AI Capability Pilot Program will provide tailored, one-to-one support to help businesses overcome common barriers to AI adoption such as cost, time and capability.

The initiative follows extensive engagement with small businesses across the state, which highlighted a growing interest in AI and digital tools.

• Build awareness of practical AI tools that can boost productivity and efficiency
• Develop customised business plans or roadmaps for AI adoption
• Provide mentoring, coaching and hands-on support during implementation.

Funding of up to $370,000 (ex GST) is available to deliver the program over an 18-month period from 2025 to 2027.
