South Australian Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, David Ridgway, has officially launched the Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment’s new export grant program – the SA Export Accelerator.

The grant provides funding support to South Australian businesses at each stage of their export journey.

There are now three categories to the new grant:

•         Emerging Exporter – Grants up to $5,000 are available to South Australian businesses that are exporting for the first time.

•         Export Accelerator – Grants up to $30,000 are available to help fund business expansion that will create multiple direct ongoing jobs.

•         New Market Entry – Grants up to $15,000 are available for mature export companies that have exhausted their grant funding but are looking to enter new export markets.

The first funding round will close on Friday 21 September 2018. Any enquiries can be directed to the Export Program Administrator on (08) 8303 2400 or email [email protected]
