The proposal must contain enough detail to enable Enterprise Connect to assess the merits of the proposed activity against the WIIN criteria. All WIIN activities are delivered free of charge.

WIIN Merit criteria

Enterprise Connect will assess the merits of each WIIN application against the following criteria:

the extent to which the proposed activity will deliver relevant new knowledge and information which can be readily applied by attendees to improve the performance of their business,
the extent to which the proposed activity will provide opportunities for firms to share ideas and develop more effective networks in addition to the natural opportunities provided by attending the activity, and
the extent to which the applicant has demonstrated their experience in delivering or facilitating the successful delivery of similar activities to those proposed in their application.

WIIN Round Ten Themes

Following the completion of an internal review, WIIN will no longer be holding fixed period competitive grant rounds. WIIN Round 10 which had previously been scheduled to open on 7 May 2012 will not be held.

WIIN will be transitioning in 2012-13 to a more flexible funding model which will allow the delivery of a wider range of activities which will be better able to address the specific needs of Australian small and medium businesses.
