Funding for NT businesses in priority sectors

Overview

Priority Sector Collaborative Grants provide consortia of organisations with matched funding to support collaborative projects, which could include:

• shared infrastructure, technology and innovation solutions
• piloting new technologies, such as demonstration plant equipment
• testing and validating new services
• consolidating and developing industry capability.

The program is expected to comprise a 2-stage grant funding framework:

• Stage 1: up to $100,000 on matching basis for sector based scoping, planning and feasibility studies. Eligible activities may include road mapping, demand analysis, supply chain analysis, sector capability audits, economic impact analysis, feasibility studies, sector opportunity analysis, and market development strategy. Funded works need to be performed by appropriately qualified third parties.
• Stage 2: up to $1 million on matching basis to consortia for implementation of sector based projects which deliver common-use infrastructure, services or data.

Program funds will target common-use industry sector infrastructure which can be utilised by market participants on an open access and nondiscriminatory priced basis.
