A new round of funding has opened to support Queensland startups and entrepreneurs developing new products and services. The Ignite Ideas Fund and Ignite Spark Program are helping small and medium-sized businesses turn bright ideas into commercial success.
The Ignite Ideas Fund offers grants of up to $200,000 to help businesses expand into local and global markets. The Ignite Spark Program provides up to $75,000 to help innovators refine and test their products before release.
More than 450 businesses have received support through Ignite Ideas, with another 40 assisted under Ignite Spark. Past recipients include companies creating firefighting technology and large-scale worm farms for sustainable waste management.
The programs aim to help businesses grow, attract investment, and create more jobs across Queensland. They give entrepreneurs the resources to develop practical, high-impact innovations and bring them to market faster.
Applications for both programs are now open.
