Applications are open for the South Australian Government’s Global Expansion Program.

The South Australian Government's Global Expansion Program is here to help, offering up to $50,000 in funding to high-growth, export-ready businesses.

This support is designed to equip companies with the tools, resources, and guidance needed to break into global markets and take their business to the next level.

South Australian company Foil Drive is one recipient who has used the Global Expansion Program to reach new markets and drive business growth.

Their rapid success has allowed them to become a key player in the watersports industry, dominating the Australian market with their innovative, lightweight motor kits that can be retrofitted onto surf, wake and wind foil boards.

Since joining the program, Foil Drive Co-Founder, Ben Jamieson, said they now plan to dedicate 90 per cent of their efforts towards expert growth.

“The GEP grant will allow Foil Drive to supercharge our efforts of expanding our South Australian business and brand further into major export markets such as the United States,” he said.

“With enormous potential in the inland waterways and broader boating and marine community of the US, we’re excited by the opportunity this grant brings to broaden our export potential.”

With global markets more accessible than ever, now is the perfect time for South Australian businesses to take the leap. Whether it’s funding for research, technology upgrades, or market expansion, the Program could be the boost your business needs to achieve its global ambitions.
