Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme amended

3 July 2008

The Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme is an Australian Government financial assistance program for exporters. The scheme, administered by Austrade, reimburses up to 50% of expenses incurred on eligible export activities. A number of changes were made effective 1 July 2008 that will apply to applications lodged from 1 July 2009. These include allowing costs of patenting products overseas (and obtaining trade marks overseas) to be eligible for support. For further information on the changes, click here.
