Global Gateway Program
Program overview
The Global Gateway Program is a key part of the Victorian Government’s $15.7 million Export Recovery Package, supporting established Victorian exporters to stabilise their business and adapt their export strategies in response to the challenges created by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Global Gateway Grant Recipients Announced
On 29 March 2021, the Victorian Government announced the Global Gateway grant recipients representing a diverse range of industry sectors from across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Each recipient will receive a one-off grant of up to $50,000 to engage professional service providers for project activities including market intelligence, market access and marketing and promotion, and help them continue to break new ground in international markets.
This record investment from the government will assist over 185 Victorian exporters to maintain their connection to international markets, champion Victorian export growth, safeguard jobs and drive the State’s economic recovery.
Collectively, the recipients generated more than $6.3 billion worth of exports in 2019-20 in key industries such as manufacturing, food and beverage, education and training, agriculture and fishing, and professional, scientific and tech services – accounting for 11 per cent of Victoria’s total exports.
