The Commercialisation Bridge Grant (CBG) is a competitive Western Australian Government grant, funded through the $40 million New Industries and Innovation Fund (2025-29).
The CBG is administered by the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification and targets innovation-driven SMEs and startups in Western Australia, to provide them with support to bridge the funding gap between early start commercialisation and ‘break through growth’ to assist them in becoming sustainable, profitable and scalable businesses.
