THE MARKET DEVELOPMENT GRANT (MDG 2013)

The Market Development Grant 

The Market Development Grant is a scheme introduced to assist the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), service providers, trade & industry associations / chambers of commerce & professional bodies in undertaking export promotional activities.

For 2013, MDG applicants can claim up to a maximum grant of RM100,000.00 per company, subject to yearly review and the availability of fund. In addition to that, an exit mechanism under the Malaysia Plan (MP) will be implemented whereby the cumulative grant entitled for a MDG applicant throughout the period of the 10th MP (2011 – 2015) is limited to a maximum of RM300,000.00 per company.

Companies can apply for a reimbursable grant on the eligible export promotional activities undertaken. The value of the grant reimbursed will be determined by MATRADE based on the location (by regions) and the type of export promotional activities undertaken.
