Export Market Development Grants (EMDG)
Austrade’s Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) program helps businesses grow their exports in international markets. These grants encourage small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to market and promote their products globally.
Types of grants
SME exporters can apply for 3 different grant tiers over 8 years (not necessarily consecutively) for eligible promotional activities.
Each tier provides a different level of support as SMEs grow their export markets.
Tier 1 Ready to export: New exporters
Tier 2 Expanding: Expanding export promotion activities
Tier 3 Expanding and strategic shift: Expanding export promotion activities and making a strategic shift, e.g., targeting a new market in a new country.
Representative bodies: Assistance for industry bodies and alliances extends to training members to become export ready. Representative bodies will continue to have access to financial assistance for promotional activities on behalf of their members in international markets.
The total funding for this grant program is $157.9 million per year divided amongst eligible applicants across all rounds, including grant funding and funds for administration of the program.
