The Incubator Event stream of the Regional Event Fund offers seed funding to events in regional NSW to support their first or second year of activity. The Fund supports innovative events that demonstrate sound organisational planning, have a unique alignment with the character and culture of the local region and which can demonstrate a broad appeal likely to promote tourism and attract overnight visitation to the region. The Regional Event Fund offers three distinct funding streams that support the entire development process of events in Regional NSW, from their initial stages to becoming established tourism attractions. The Regional Event Fund comprises three distinct streams: -Incubator Event stream – to support the establishment of new events -Flagship Event stream – to support the marketing of emerging events to increase their profile and encourage visitation; and -Event Development stream – to support the strategic development of established events as drivers of tourism. Each of the three streams in the Regional Event Fund has unique eligibility, selection criteria, and assessment processes. Management of applications for the three streams is conducted separately.

The Flagship Event stream of the Regional Event Fund in New South Wales provides support to well-established events that have been running for over two years. Through this stream, grants are offered to assist in marketing activities aimed at promoting overnight visitation from individuals outside the event's Local Government Area. The Regional Event Fund consists of three distinct funding streams, offering a developmental pathway for events from their inception to becoming established tourism attractions in Regional NSW. The Regional Event Fund comprises three distinct streams: -Incubator Event stream – to support the establishment of new events -Flagship Event stream – to support the marketing of emerging events to increase their profile and encourage visitation; and -Event Development stream – to support the strategic development of established events as drivers of tourism. Each of the three streams in the Regional Event Fund has unique eligibility, selection criteria, and assessment processes. Management of applications for the three streams is conducted separately.

The Event Development stream aids events that have already reached the maximum funding threshold under the Flagship Event stream, provided they present a comprehensive strategy for future expansion, emphasising the ongoing enhancement of their tourism appeal to drive overnight visitation.

The Accelerating Female Founders Program offers funding to organisations to deliver business support initiatives targeting the growth of Queensland's innovation-driven enterprises (IDEs) founded and led by women. These initiatives aim to assist female founders in advancing their IDEs, forging valuable connections, and accessing opportunities that will leave a lasting impact on both the founders and their businesses beyond the program duration.

The Female Founders Co-Investment Fund (the Fund) is geared towards boosting both the quantity and quality of investments directed towards female-founded businesses in Queensland, particularly those with a strong focus on innovation, also known as innovation-driven enterprises (IDE). Eligible businesses will receive assistance to access funding and attract new early-stage investments aimed at enhancing their operational capacity. The Fund's objectives include: - supporting female founders in Queensland to successfully close early-stage investment rounds with Government support - assisting female founders in Queensland to expand their innovative ventures across various industries - increasing the participation of female founders in the Queensland innovation ecosystem - contributing to the development of an investment pipeline specifically tailored for businesses founded by women.

The Net Zero Manufacturing Initiative, integral to the NSW Government's aim for net zero emissions by 2050, combines three programs: - Clean Technology Innovation (CTI) for developing low-emission technologies - Low Carbon Product Manufacturing (LCPM) to support local production of essential low-carbon goods - Renewable Manufacturing (RM) to boost local production of renewable energy components. The LCPM aims to invest in new industrial facilities and advanced manufacturing capabilities, facilitating the decarbonisation of the NSW economy toward achieving net zero emissions by 2050. It has four key objectives: - stimulating economic growth throughout NSW - encouraging investment and employment in emerging low carbon industries - developing a diverse, self-sufficient, resilient, and competitive low carbon manufacturing sector - establishing new industrial facilities and advanced manufacturing capabilities to drive decarbonisation efforts in NSW.

The Net Zero Manufacturing Initiative, integral to the NSW Government's aim for net zero emissions by 2050, combines three programs: - Clean Technology Innovation (CTI) for developing low-emission technologies - Low Carbon Product Manufacturing (LCPM) to support local production of essential low-carbon goods - Renewable Manufacturing (RM) to boost local production of renewable energy components. The CTI grants aim to promote innovation across the entire spectrum of product development – from initial research and testing to infrastructure enhancement, commercialisation, and implementation. The goals of the CTI grants include: - assessing the technical and commercial feasibility, viability, and compliance of a product or project - speeding up and broadening the research, development, and commercialisation of low emissions technologies with the potential to scale, replicate, and become cost-effective - cultivating an ecosystem capable of nurturing clean technology innovation - attracting leading clean technology companies and innovations to NSW, thereby positioning NSW as a hub for clean technology excellence.

The Lower Carbon Grants (LCG) Program - Gorgon Fund will support green energy and greentech projects in Western Australia, contributing to a sustainable low carbon future. LCG will fund significant research and innovation activities across industries, technology platforms, and regions that promote practical and effective solutions for decarbonisation.
