EMDG is a federal government incentive program that encourages Australian businesses to start exporting, or to expand their export programs. Businesses that successfully apply for EMDG will receive cash rebates on their international marketing costs.
Some key features of EMDG are:
Maximum grants are between $40,000 and $150,000 per annum, depending on which “tier” you qualify for, and subject to scheme demand. High demand for the program could lead to significantly lower maximums.
For eligible businesses who are
new to export.
For eligible exporters who plan to expand
their marketing activities.
For exporters who are making a strategic shift.
The first step is to determine whether your business is eligible – below are the key requirements (without the legalistic language and detail – we can talk that through with you).
Grants for expenses in the 2021/22 year are now closed. Opening dates for the next round of EMDG grants have not yet been published by Austrade. It is likely that when the grant does re-open it will be for a short period of time only of +/- 6 weeks.
