About the grants
The Access Asia Business Grants is a competitive funding program that supports Western Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations to advance their export and trade activities in new Asian markets, particularly China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam.
It is a key initiative under Western Australia's Asian Engagement Strategy 2019-2030 - Our future with Asia which provides a framework for the State’s long-term engagement with key Asian markets and responds to our need to diversify the economy and create skilled jobs for Western Australians.
Grant recipients can utilise AABG funding to undertake the following activities:
- adopt new business models to expand market share
- scope new supply or value chains
- develop export plans
- develop new partnerships through specialist in-market support and services
- increase innovation in logistics and supply chain models
- scope new e-commerce models and digital platforms
- gather in-market intelligence to capture new opportunities
- develop new marketing collateral for Asian markets.
Activities can be both Western Australia-based and Asia-based.
Since its inception in 2019, the AABG program has awarded around $1.72 million (excluding GST) to 96 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations, assisting them in gaining access to key Asian markets.
