Made in Queensland

What’s new

January 2025: Made in Queensland round 7 is now closed.

Made in Queensland (MIQ) is a $121.5 million Queensland Government program helping small and medium-sized manufacturers to increase international competitiveness, productivity and innovation, and to generate high-skilled jobs for the future. MIQ supports traditional manufacturers to adopt industry leading equipment, technologies, systems and processes.

Since 2017, MIQ has supported 159 advanced manufacturing projects across the state. These projects have already created and supported more than 6,900 jobs with more than $140 million in total project cost.

Of the projects funded through MIQ, more than 45% are being delivered in regional Queensland, and are expected to create and support more than 5,000 jobs over 5 years.

The MIQ program is part of the Queensland Advanced Manufacturing 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan to support our manufacturers.

MIQ round 7

Applications for round 7 are now closed. We are assessing applications and all applicants will be notified of the outcome by mid-May. The highest-ranked applicants will be invited to submit a stage 2 application.

Queensland-based manufacturers looking to adopt industry-leading equipment, technologies, systems and processes that include energy efficiency, export, reshoring, supply chain improvements and sustainability outcomes were able to apply for matched funding grants of $50,000 to $2.5 million.

Successful MIQ applicants are required to execute a funding agreement with the Queensland Government. Information about the agreement is in the guidelines.

Under this agreement, the Queensland Government may require security arrangements as part of executing a funding agreement. Applicants should confirm their financier or bank is satisfied with these arrangements before applying. See sample funding agreements below.

Alternatively, you may provide a bank guarantee instead of security over the assets.
