Victoria’s transition to net zero emissions will require components to be made at scale to support the shift to renewable energy and lower emission processes. This provides an opportunity for local manufacturers to grow, generating economic activity, securing well-paid jobs, increasing exports, and reducing Victoria’s reliance on international supply chains.
The Victorian government’s Low Carbon Manufacturing Grant Program – Business Readiness Stream assists small to medium size Victorian manufacturers to access business services, advice, or expertise in order to participate in low carbon and renewable energy supply chains. Funding could support technology adoption, the commercialisation or late-stage research and development of products for local and global supply chains in response to emerging market opportunities in the transition to a low carbon economy.
Grants of up to $50,000 are available. All grants must be matched by a minimum cash co-contribution of $1 for every $1 granted.
Applications are now open and close on 20 January 2023.
