Virtual Business Matching

200 The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO ().1 December 2022). Can the Minister for Trade and Investment advise—

1. Did the Virtual Business Matching Program support any wineries in its lifetime?

2. Which businesses or organisations did the Virtual Business Matching Program support since 2020 including the amount provided to the business or organisation?

3. When did the last round of the Virtual Business Matching Program open and end?

4. When did the Virtual Business Matching Program cease to be offered?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Trade and Investment has advised:

1. The Virtual Business Matching Program was a general program that operated across many sectors and was not specifically a wine industry support program.

The majority of participants in this program were from sectors outside of the wine industry.

2. Due to the generalist nature of the Virtual Business Matching Program, funding was allocated to the program to manage the activities, such as the software platform, fees associated with venue and technical support, or conference participation costs, if applicable.

Financial support was not given to individual businesses.

Businesses that participated in Virtual Business Matching activities are listed alphabetically below.
