About the Trade Support Scheme

The Trade Support Scheme aims to build stronger trading partnerships and create new export opportunities. It provides Northern Territory based organisations with financial help to offset the costs of international marketing activities.

The scheme can offset up to 75 per cent of the costs of activities such as:

  • attendance at international expos and trade shows
  • promotional products
  • accommodation
  • freight costs
  • website development for international audiences.
Given the current Global Financial Crisis, a number of short term enhancements and additional funding categories have been introduced to the Scheme to help businesses maintain their international marketing activities and diversify into new markets.

The enhancements are effective for all new applications from 17 March 2009, for a period of 12 months.
