FIAL’s Advanced Food and Ingredients Initiative (AFII) is designed to boost Australia’s competitive advantage in food manufacturing by accelerating the development of value-added ingredients. The program supports projects that enhance processing capabilities, explore novel ingredients, and strengthen the nation’s position in global supply chains.

Eligible projects can focus on activities such as product innovation, ingredient diversification, and the adoption of advanced technologies that improve efficiency and sustainability in food production.

This initiative is suited to Australian food and agribusinesses seeking to collaborate with research partners, commercialise new products, or scale ingredient innovations to meet domestic and export demand.
