What does this mean for you?

Naturally Good is an approved event on the program, meaning you are eligible to apply for upfront grants to cover up to 50% of the costs associated with exhibiting.

Changes to the program mean your investment required is halved to $10,000 (was $20,000). The total expenditure may appear to be out of reach at first glance, but when you break it down, it is not. There are other expenses that can be applied apart from the cost of your stand, this includes freight and logistics, samples, printing, flights, accommodation as well as digital advertising and sponsorship. Furthermore, you are also able to combine the exhibition costs of more than one approved event to assist in reaching the expenditure.
