Collaboration Partner Program

What does a Collaboration Partner do?

Collaboration Partners design and deliver events that align with QSBM's focus areas:

• Capability and skills: help businesses gain practical knowledge and confidence to grow and adapt.
• Networking opportunities: encourage collaboration, mentoring, and community celebration of small businesses.
• Access to free resources and services: promote no-cost tools, business advice, and government programs available to small businesses.

Why become a QSBM Collaboration Partner?

As a Collaboration Partner, your organisation will have the unique opportunity to:

• Showcase your leadership: demonstrate your commitment to Queensland's small business community by hosting events that support their growth and resilience.
• Connect with small and family business owners: build strong relationships by engaging directly with businesses across the state, sharing your expertise, and providing valuable resources.
• Increase visibility: gain exposure through official QSBM promotions, including event listings on the Business Queensland website.
• Create a real impact: help small businesses build their capabilities in areas like marketing, leadership, cybersecurity, digital skills, and financial management.
• Access exclusive resources: use official QSBM materials like banners, and social media graphics to promote your event.

Events can include workshops, panel discussions, webinars, networking sessions, or one-on-one business advisory clinics. Both online and in-person activities are encouraged to ensure accessibility for regional and remote participants.
