The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) is calling on business event owners to register expressions of interest (EOI) to take part in the Federal Government’s $50 million Business Events Grants program. 

The program will allow eligible businesses to apply for grants of up $250,000 to cover up to 50 per cent of the cost of participating in approved business to business events in Australia in 2021. 

Business to business event owners are encouraged to submit an EOI by 11.59pm 30 November to be considered for inclusion in the schedule of approved events when the program opens for grant applications from eligible businesses in mid-December. 

For more information on the Business Events Grants program, including eligibility criteria for event owners, frequently asked questions and the EOI form, visit the Austrade website. 

All enquiries should be directed to Austrade, which is managing the EOI process, via BEgrants@austrade.gov.au or on 1800 048 155.
