Economic Development is running a series of small business forums around Tasmanian during March and April to discuss key issues and trends facing Tasmanian small businesses in the next five to ten years. Small business operators and Industry representatives committed to a successful business future in Tasmania should attend.

- removing barriers to entry
- growing the small business sector
- government and small business
- sustainability.
