Australian Government Digital Taskforce video 2018

In January 2018 Solar 4 RVs welcomed a film crew from the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science to share our experiences regarding adopting digital technology.   The department selected 11 businesses across Australia to interview as case studies for their Digital Taskforce which is chaired by entrepreneur Mr Mark Bouris AM.  

The taskforce examined how small business can be supported to take advantage of the opportunities that the digital economy offers reports their findings to the federal government.

The subsequent Small Business Digital Taskforce video of the interview conducted with Solar 4 RVs is now on the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science website.
