Grant & government submission advisory



Published on 11 July 2025

Government funding is everywhere, but access isn't. Most businesses know grants exist but struggle to decode program logic, align their projects with policy priorities, or construct proposals that speak the language of government assessment. The result is often excellent projects described poorly, or good businesses chasing unsuitable programs because the funding seemed relevant on paper.

             
          Successful submissions understand government as a strategic partner, not just a funding source. This means recognizing how your project advances policy objectives, demonstrating impact in terms that matter to program designers, and positioning your work within broader economic or social outcomes that government seeks to achieve. It requires strategic thinking about what government wants to buy, not just what you want to sell.

Our work involves:
  • Funding landscape scans — identifying relevant grants, incentives, and policy programs aligned to your business or regional goals
  • Submission strategy and alignment — ensuring proposals reflect the program logic, strategic objectives, and scoring criteria of each opportunity
  • Application development and writing — producing clear, compelling, and technically sound proposals with evidence-backed arguments
  • Project design support — helping shape deliverables, partnerships, and milestones that maximise competitiveness and impact
  • Government engagement support — advising on stakeholder strategy, co-funding models, and alignment with broader regional or industry priorities

This approach becomes particularly valuable for businesses operating in government priority areas. Energy transition companies need to demonstrate how their technology advances net zero objectives while creating economic opportunities. Digital businesses need to show how their innovation strengthens cybersecurity, productivity, or sovereign capability. Manufacturing projects need to connect local production with supply chain resilience and regional development outcomes.
            Effective grant strategy treats government funding as partnership opportunity, aligning business objectives with public policy goals in ways that create mutual value and sustainable outcomes.
