New funding for green companies

CLEANTECH industry players in South Australia will have access to $5.45 million in new State Government funding, Trade Minister Tom Koutsantonis announced today.

The funding over five years can be accessed through the Department of Trade and Economic Development's Business Sustainability Alliance, Cleantech Partnering Program and an Eco-Innovation Program.

Minister Koutsantonis said the programs will help local companies capture opportunities for new products and services and bolster the competitiveness of existing industries, such as manufacturing.

"We want to see the cleantech sector expand and develop innovative solutions that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction and re-use, and sustainable manufacturing,'' he said.
