EMDG Export Market Development Grants
EMDG reimburses up to 50% of eligible export marketing spend for Australian businesses selling internationally — trade fairs, overseas representation, buyer visits, digital marketing.
The Program
Selling overseas has
a co-investor.
The Export Market Development Grant repays a share of what you spend promoting your product in foreign markets — administered by Austrade, claimed in multi-year cycles. The discipline is planning: expenses incurred in the right order, evidenced properly, lodged inside the cycle.
No. 1
Eligibility check
Confirm export readiness: the product, the target market, and the promotional spend pattern — before any fee.
No. 2
Spend planning
Map which expenses are claimable this cycle and next: trade fairs, in-market travel, overseas representatives, digital campaigns.
No. 3
Evidence & lodgement
Invoices, travel records, and marketing collateral assembled to Austrade standard — lodged inside the cycle.
No. 4
Multi-year strategy
EMDG rewards consistency — we plan the three-year claim arc so each cycle compounds the last.
"The exporters who gain most from EMDG plan the claim cycle before they book the trade fair."
