The strategy identifies three key areas for action:
- Increasing impact and innovation
- Building business capacity and skills
- Improving market access

It also references the role that the Australian Centre for Rural Entrepreneurship (ACRE), along with other intermediary bodies plays in helping to incubate start-ups, and to support and promote a vibrant social enterprise culture and community across the State.
