If you spent more than $10,000 each year (or over 2 years if you have not claimed before) then you should be considering applying for a grant – you could receive a reimbursement of half your eligible expenses above that threshold.
If your current spend is below the threshold then consider whether you could form a joint venture with other businesses in your geographic area, or with other businesses in your industry or vertically integrated businesses? A joint venture can be a path into EMDG.
