Victorian Investment Fund
Driving economic growth in rural and regional Victoria by attracting and securing business investment to support innovation and job creation
Overview
The Victorian Investment Fund builds on the Economic Growth Statement to boost business investment across the state.
A dedicated $50 million regional stream of this fund supports fast growing businesses to enhance economic development, generating capital investment and new jobs in regional cities and towns.
Investments through the fund will complement our other investment initiatives outlined in the Economic Growth Statement, including unlocking industrial land and offering businesses and investors a launching pad into the regional economy.
Objectives of program
The Victorian Investment Fund:
- supports the growth of priority industries across the regions
- helps businesses to expand
- secures regional supply chains.
Five priority sectors have been identified that will continue to form a strong backbone for the Victorian economy.
These include:
- advanced manufacturing and defence
- health technologies and medical research
- circular economy projects
- digital technologies
- agribusiness.
By opening the door to investment and innovation, building new skills and reaching every corner of Victoria – we will turn the dial up on these high-potential sectors.
In doing so, we will help to position our regions as the ideal place to invest and do business.
