This program provides grants to assist the promotion of South Australia and its industry capabilities at key industry events in international markets (including trade shows).

The Office of Trade invites applications in March and September of each year.

Applications from groups of companies and industry associations are strongly encouraged. In general, grants are available for up to $3,000 (dollar for dollar) per company represented at the event. Models of participation at an event include:

• Trade show - traditional model (individual booths forming part of a common themed pavilion).
• Trade show - industry showcase model (to promote an industry sector and individual companies through creative use of booth space).
• Trade show - product showcase model (especially suitable for non-branded products).
• Events other than trade shows (that may be more effective to promote a particular industry).

The importance of the market and the specific activity should be highlighted in the industry’s sector-level export strategy.
