The detail worth knowing

This is aimed at substantial projects, not a general startup grant. Match funding is required and some support may be repayable. Regional agency coverage matters.

  1. Read the current guidance on the official provider page.
  2. Check the relevant tier or call, deadline and full eligibility criteria.
  3. Prepare the evidence requested and apply directly with the provider.
