Over the last 17 years, more than 1,000 Australian companies have taken part in the program.<\/p>\n
Richard Thorning, Director of the Curtin Centre for Entrepreneurship, said the Growth Program differed from other small business programs as it was entirely practical, very comprehensive and focused on the participants\u2019 businesses.<\/p>\n
