Climate Change Business Innovation Grants
The Business Innovation Grants support small- to medium-sized Tasmanian businesses to take action on climate change, focusing on local innovation, collaboration and partnerships.
The Tasmanian Government is providing $556,877 in grants of between $25,000 and $100,000 to seven successful recipients to undertake innovative projects spanning waste management, hospitality, advanced manufacturing, tourism, commercial heating and cooling, aquaculture, and agriculture. Grant recipients co-contribute at least 30 per cent of their grant, resulting in an additional $366,291 in local investment for these projects.
The seven successful grant recipients and their projects are listed below.
