Export Market Development Grant

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.

The program is designed to bring benefits to Australia by encouraging the creation, development, expansion and diversification of foreign markets for Australian products. This is done by providing targeted financial assistance for promotional activities and the development of marketing skills to Australian SMEs and their representative organisations. The intended outcome is increased export promotion for eligible products in foreign markets by EMDG recipients.
