Rocketspark is pleased to be supporting the Digital Boost Alliance Aotearoa. Being a software platform for small businesses we're already actively supporting the growth of digital capability through working with Digital Boost by sharing our knowledge through free webinars.
The purpose of the Digital Boost Alliance aligns so well with many of our own initiatives, such as pop-up shops, digital playbooks, ebooks and training classes. We also enjoy creating pathways for students through our partnerships with Cambridge High School, Wintec, The University of Waikato and AUT.
This made joining the alliance an easy decision.
Building something bigger
The Digital Boost Alliance of like-minded organisations is focused on motivating and inspiring small businesses and individuals across Aotearoa to lift their use of digital technologies.
The team behind the alliance believe that giving Kiwis the confidence to accelerate their use of digital business tools, new technologies and new ways of working is vital to achieving Aotearoa’s economic and social Potential.
When putting this together they were seeking others to support their collaborative vision of:
“Accelerating the growth of a Digital Aotearoa by providing businesses, people and organisations with increased access to technology, expertise, advice, support and services needed to live, work and thrive in a sustainable and resilient digital economy.”
