Polaris Business and Innovation Centre

The Polaris Centre is the hub for business and innovation in Northern Adelaide. We’re here to support economic growth by encouraging innovation and offering practical programs that improve business performance.

At the Polaris Centre (formerly Salisbury Business and Export Centre, SBEC), we specialise in providing business support, advice and training for small to medium enterprises in the northern region.

We deliver interactive and engaging group programs as well as intensive one-on-one sessions to give you the skills and knowledge you need to reach your business goals. We also bring people and businesses together through a range of networking events designed to help you make the connections that are so vital to a successful business.

We help business grow and prosper by:

• providing business support services and programs, including advice, information, mentoring, training, referrals and technology adoption
• promoting innovation and working with business groups to address collective issues
• creating local networks that enable businesses to access the latest tools and practices
• improving engagement and collaboration between business, government, education providers and research organisations.

The Polaris Centre helps everyone from people thinking about starting a business, through to established businesses that are looking to expand or export. We help people in home-based and e-based businesses, innovators, small businesses and medium-sized firms. We also help businesses that are experiencing operational or financial difficulties.
