EMDG
What is it?
The Export Marketing Development Grant (EMDG) is a non-competitive cash grant that reimburses current and aspiring exporters around half of the monies spent by them in developing an export market for a product or service. The aim of the program is to alleviate the costs associated with creating, developing and maintaining a presence in the global marketplace.
The EMDG is administered by AusTrade and supports a wide range of industrial sectors and products, including the export of intellectual property, the supply of know-how outside of Australia and even inbound tourism.
The program:
- encourages small and medium sized Australian businesses to develop export markets;
- allows up to seven grants to each eligible applicant
- reimburses up to 50% of expenses incurred on eligible export promotional activities above a $10,000 threshold, after incurring at least $20,000 on eligible expenditure.
How we can help!
M Squared has assisted many of its clients to access this particular grant. It's important to realize that the EMDG can only be accessed via a formal registration process with AusTrade and this registration process must be concluded on or before 30 November for the period ended the preceding 30 June. It is also noteworthy that M Squared are prepared to work with our clients on a success fee basis – that is we only get paid a small percentage of what you receive from AusTrade, and you only pay us as you receive the funds from AusTrade.
