Funding is now available for food and beverage manufacturing projects under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI).
Open funding streams
If you’re undertaking food and beverage projects you can apply for funding support under the:
- Manufacturing translation stream: helps Australian manufacturers translate high quality research and ideas into commercial outcomes
- Manufacturing integration stream: helps Australian manufacturers to access domestic and global supply chains and distribute quality products and high value services into them
Successful National Manufacturing Priority projects are eligible to receive up to 50% of funding.
Applications for the third MMI stream—the Manufacturing collaboration stream—will open later this year.
Road map for the food and beverage sector
The industry-led Food and Beverage National Manufacturing Priority road map is now available to guide your application under the MMI.
The road map will help to boost the value of Australia’s food and beverage manufacturing. It will do this by increasing capability, focusing on leading edge manufacturing technologies and identifying opportunities.
More priority sector road maps
Three more National Manufacturing Priority area road maps are also available:
We will release the remaining roadmaps in coming weeks:
