Small businesses are the backbone of the Macleay Valley, bringing energy, innovation, and connection to our local area. They create jobs, support families, and make our community a vibrant and diverse place to live. As we celebrate Small Business Month this October, Kempsey Shire Council is proud to stand behind the small businesses that keep our local economy strong, ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to grow and succeed.

Supporting our small businesses is crucial to creating a thriving local economy. Through Council’s efforts to foster partnerships, create networking opportunities, and provide practical support, we're helping businesses overcome challenges and reach their full potential. This is about more than just today; it's about building a better future for everyone in the community.

Practical AI Strategies for Small Business

Technology is changing fast, and Kempsey Shire Council is committed to helping local businesses stay ahead.

That’s why we’re excited to support Nortec Connects workshop Practical AI Strategies for Small Business as part of this year’s Small Business Month.

Artificial intelligence (Ai) can help businesses streamline their operations, boost productivity, and find new ways to grow.

Nortec Business Connect will be bringing free sessions to Kempsey and South West Rocks, where business owners can learn how to make Ai work for them.

These events will offer simple, practical tips on how to use Ai in day-to-day operations, whether it's to improve customer service, manage inventory, or automate tasks.

By embracing AI, local businesses can take advantage of the latest innovations to grow, scale, and thrive in the modern world.
