This subsidy provides financial support to companies that are changing their business models to stay competitive.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for businesses that are pivoting to new operational models. An example of this would be a company transitioning into e-commerce to reach more customers. It is intended for businesses looking to evolve their current structure to meet new market demands.

What you get

You can receive substantial grants intended to help cover the costs of capital investment. These funds are meant to support the physical or digital assets required to facilitate your business transition and new direction.
