Financial incentives

Financial incentive schemes are one form of strategic assistance your organisation may be able to access. These high level schemes focus on projects that will achieve real productivity improvements - particularly those that will assist collaboration among firms in research, technology diffusion, business transformation and capacity building, primarily within the Department's priority sectors.

To find out if your organisation meets the relevant funding criteria, please contact your local regional centre on 132 650.
