Hello from Switch Tasmania!
After a year defined by unpredictability, it may seem like a waste of time to anticipate what 2021 will bring.

After all, no one could have forecast the total digital revolution that has taken over the past 10 months or so. With more traditional industries resisting digital innovations, the transition to virtual and remote workspaces and consumer adoption of e-Commerce, skyrocketed by 400% in the period between the close of 2019 and April 2020 – This surprised even the savviest prognosticators.

You could argue, that ten years worth of change has taken place in less than a year, but in many ways, small business is all but unrecognisable from what it was in March 2020.
Whatever else the new year may bring, it seems clear that digital solutions and business resilience is here to stay, with small businesses continuing to lean on virtual solutions, even as the threat of the pandemic stabilises.

Switch Tasmania have navigated and established the comprehensive ASBAS Digital Solutions and Business Resilience Program - Simply CLICK ON THE "I'm Ready to GO DIGITAL!" BUTTON BELOW to register your business! No matter where you are in Tasmania, we offer Statewide Digital Solutions support and Business Resilience with our co-partnerships in the North with The Van Diemen Project and in the South with Intellinc.

Designed to support every small business owner and their growth and innovation. Business owners who are ready to embrace the transition from more conventional business methods and are needing to kick-start their business adventure, equipped with all the best digital tools to go online, are bolstered with the assistance of 1:1 Mentoring, admission to Skills Development Workshops and Events, and access to all the latest news and updates to boost their online presence, gain so much more than knowledge and networks by registering your business HERE today!
The rise of digital technology has also acted as a way to generalise the process of buying pieces of art, previously monopolised by auction houses’ as regular customers. Online marketplaces selling affordable arts and crafts are popping up and reshaping the rules on offer and demand. Thousands of unknown artists now have access to an online market, taking care of all the buying and promoting processes.

Working in partnership with our local forward-thinking Arts organisations -- such as the University of Tasmania, The Makers Workshop, RANT arts, Study Hub West Coast, West Coast Council, and The MISH -- Switch Tasmania now have the opportunity to offer our ASBAS Digital Solutions Program to a creative and innovative Arts Industry! With digital technology moving fast, new ways of promoting, selling and creating are quickly emerging and evolving, which is an opportunity for creative entrepreneurs and artists, to use the knowledge of digital tools to deepen their interest in art and to enrich artistic emotions and experiences.
We are very excited and looking forward to this partnership and supporting creatives in their digital business journey!

Also don’t forget, that our Switch Spaces, have undergone a fantastic new makeover with renovations and upgrades for our office facilities, ensuring that anyone who Co-Works, holds Meetings, or network Functions, or needs a Commercial Kitchen, can do so in our more contemporary and Covid Safe building space! We would like to extend gratitude to the APEX Club of Ulverstone who have overseen these building changes and we look forward to enjoying the use of this amazing workspace hub!

Why not enjoy your next Function, Meeting or Workspace at Switch Tasmania and make use of the brand-new improvements for your organisation and small business venture. For more information, simply call (03) 6408 7005 and we will be more than happy to show you around and book you a space that suits your business needs!
