Springboard is a major national industry development program designed by Propeller and Parcel and delivered with funding from the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts and AusIndustry.

The program invites designers from across Australia to boost their entrepreneurial capabilities via a structured creative entrepreneur-mentoring program. So far 100 small businesses have been through the Springboard program.

Springboard provides a catalyst to encourage small creative businesses to invest in their own future through strategic workshops, counseling sessions, and an online community portal - ADU.

Springboard celebrates the benefits of collaboration, enabling design businesses to evolve and transform through a planned business model. As a national program anchored within an online media context, Springboard works between key institutions and existing initiatives to enable the country’s most promising designers to create a competitive edge, and develop new markets at home and abroad.
