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).
Applications for the next round of EMDG will open on 6 July 2022. Applications are only open for a 6 week period and no extensions are available. This is a much shorter period than in the past so interested businesses should act quickly.
