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.
