Geelong Investment and Innovation Fund is now closed!

The Geelong Investment and Innovation Fund (GIIF) was established by the Australian and Victorian Governments, together with Ford Australia following Ford's restructure of its manufacturing operations in Geelong.

The Fund will assist industry development in the Geelong region by providing grants to support new investment that will create sustainable jobs.

Round one of the Fund closed on 30 October 2007 and four projects were awarded a total of $3.3 million in funding, creating 193 full time jobs. 

The second and final funding round closed on 31 October 2008.
