Grants in Manufacturing

Queensland funding for collaborative bioeconomy research projects with German research partners.

NSW ETCF 2026: repayable grants $500k–$2m to commercialise emerging tech (TRL 3–7) and scale NSW impact.

The International Space Investment India Projects Round 2 grant supports Australian organisations to deliver joint space projects with India. The program is designed to strengthen collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation and the Indian space sector, expand Australia’s space capability and enable Australian space technologies and services to be delivered internationally.

The Victorian Trunk Infrastructure Fund supports the delivery of essential infrastructure needed to unlock industrial and commercial land and enable private sector investment in regional Victoria. The fund co‑invests in trunk services such as power, water, transport and telecommunications to remove barriers to investment, expand business activity and create long‑term regional jobs.

The Transforming Queensland Manufacturing Grants Program (TQMGP) supports Queensland manufacturers to adopt advanced technologies, boost innovation and create high‑value jobs.

NSW Agriculture Industries Innovation and Growth Program offers $500K–$4M for regional agtech and infrastructure projects.

The Production Scale-Up Stream is designed to help existing battery manufacturers expand their operations and strengthen Western Australia’s battery energy storage supply chain. This initiative aims to build a more competitive and resilient industry while supporting the State’s transition to a sustainable energy future. Its objectives are to enhance the capability and capacity of manufacturers to produce batteries, improve competitiveness and market share, diversify the manufacturing supply chain, reduce commercial risk and uncertainty, and create new jobs for Western Australians. The expected outcomes include increased local manufacturing of batteries and components, greater industry participation in battery energy storage, and broader economic diversification that underpins Western Australia’s energy transition.

The Local Battery Manufacturing Program: Production-Ready Funding Stream is designed to help businesses carry out essential pre-production activities that pave the way for large-scale battery and component manufacturing in Western Australia. This initiative plays a vital role in strengthening the state’s position in the battery energy storage sector and supporting the growth of a competitive local industry. The program’s objectives are to enhance capacity, capability and competitiveness within the battery energy storage supply chain, reduce barriers to entry for established battery markets and supply chains, and lower the commercial risks and uncertainties often associated with pre-production manufacturing activities. Through these efforts, the expected outcomes include a significant increase in local manufacturing of batteries and components, greater participation in battery energy storage supply chains, and the development of a stronger, more competitive battery industry in Western Australia.

The Housing Innovation Fund Grant is a competitive program aimed at increasing Western Australia’s housing supply by supporting industry-led adoption and commercialisation of modern methods of construction (MMC). These methods include prefabrication, modular systems and automation, all designed to transform the way homes are built. The program’s objectives are to drive innovation and enable business transformation, strengthen WA’s advanced housing manufacturing capability, and accelerate the uptake of MMC to reduce costs, shorten build times and improve sustainability.
