FUNDING

The Benefits

The EMDG Program

The Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) program is a flagship AusTrade initiative to support Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to seek and expand promotional opportunities for their goods, services and intellectual property in key export markets.

Round 4 of the program represents a revamped and expanded program looking to provide more funding for eligible applicants, on a ‘first-come first-served’ basis. As such, those SMEs looking to secure funding for their planned export activities need to get grant ready in preparation for Round 4 of the EMDG opening on 12 November.
