AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Cybersecurity Push: South Australian small businesses are being warned to harden defenses after research found 73% lack a cyber response plan and many spend just two hours a month on prevention, as scams and AI-driven attacks increasingly target “low hanging fruit.” Local Resilience: A Colorado medical transport provider says it will stop ambulatory rides for people who can walk, citing state funding pressures—leaving some patients to scramble for alternatives. SME Tech Support: The Philippines’ DOST says it has delivered P91M in technology assistance to 1,200+ MSMEs via its SETUP program, with a shift toward more tailored AI-enabled help. Cross-Border Networking: Global Biz Connect is expanding from Colombo to Melbourne, aiming to connect entrepreneurs, investors, and decision-makers across Australia, Sri Lanka, and the UAE. Business Growth via Government Contracts: Vermont’s Navy Week event (Aug. 26) will connect small firms with the Department of Navy’s small business programs, plus SBIR/STTR and procurement prep resources. Tourism Dollars: Jackson County, North Carolina, reported $486.85M in 2025 visitor spending, supporting jobs and local tax revenue. SMB Training Lab: Singapore Polytechnic launched CASTLE, a live cybersecurity training lab that serves SMBs while giving students hands-on penetration testing and security operations experience.
