In plain language
Non-repayable grants covering up to 60% of costs (rising to 100% for remote/rural communities in some cases) for municipalities, EDOs, and non-profits running foreign direct investment attraction activities. Realistic awards cluster $50K–$150K despite the $500K headline. 2026-27 intake ran Jan 5–30, 2026 and is closed; expect the 2027-28 call in January 2027. Only useful to community orgs — not a fit for individual businesses. If you run an EDO serving NL, this is a solid non-dilutive envelope for trade missions, inbound investor visits, and site-selection marketing.
