Do you have a business/facility in regional NSW or plan to establish a facility in regional NSW?*

If so, the NSW Government has set up the $110 million Regional Investment Activation Fund to unlock private sector investment to:

• Support the growth of existing industries and the establishment of new/emerging industries where regional NSW has a strong actual or potential competitive advantage
• Activate the economic potential of Special Activation Precincts, Regional Job Precincts, Renewable Energy Zones, hydrogen hubs and other priority locations through increased private sector investment
• Create new high quality employment opportunities
• Support the shift towards higher-value-added activities and participation in global value chains and supply chains
• Promote collaboration between businesses, education and research institutions and other parties through sharing of knowledge, resources and infrastructure.

Competitive grant funding from $2 million to $20 million is available.

As applications close 14 November 2022, this webinar hosted by Ai Group and presented by staff from the Department of Regional NSW to hear the grant funding guidelines and requirements. Also, questions were answered during the session.
