Numerous Candidates
A vast range of financial subsidies and incentives are available for projects deemed to have a public interest component. The latter
may include those that support the construction of factories, the purchase of technology, R&D, exports, training and employment,
information exchange, know-how development, operational efficiency and new project marketing but they can extend far beyond
these. It is often only when a project is studied in detail that the key argument for support from a particular grant source can be
identified and described. This brochure highlights how Deloittes Grants & Incentives experts address the challenge of assisting grant
applicants.
