Introduction

The Business Innovation Survey collects information from Victorian businesses to better understand what innovation looks like across different parts of the state. The results of the survey will help the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) create more effective place-based policies to support innovation by Victorian businesses.
 
The survey is expected to take around 10-15 minutes to complete and is a great opportunity to help inform future innovation policies and tailor support to businesses in your region.
 
Economic advisory firm Sapere has been engaged by DJSIR to assist with management of this survey and analysis of the results.
