THE collaborative efforts of aspiring entrepreneurs and start-up innovators in regional areas gives them an edge over metro developers, and it shows in the strength of business pitches.
Australia Post's general manager for small business Rebecca Burrows said the "whole ecosystem” of investment, collaboration and sheer drive of start-ups was a credit to the innovators.
Ms Burrows, a judge at the PitchFest regional finals in Toowoomba this week, said the five finalists showed how valuable collaboration is for innovators from conception and development through to investment and commercial success.
