Through the National Food Industry Strategy the Australian Government is providing $34.7 million to help industry develop innovative solutions to drive market expansion. The Food Innovation Grants Program provides matching funding to food businesses undertaking R&D projects leading to commercialisation in the food business.
Food Innovation Grants will range in value from $25,000 through to $1.5 million. The focus is on addressing science and technical issues that will lead to a commercial benefit to your business and to Australia.
The program involves technical research and development to resolve a scientific or technical challenge for the food industry in Australia, with strong prospects for commercialisation within the business and food business uptake in Australia; and provide competitive, merit-based grants on a matching dollar-for-dollar funding basis for up to half the eligible project costs to food businesses registered for tax purposes in and operating in Australia.
