Project Overview
Work Packages

The Department for Trade and Investment (DTI) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from South Australian businesses as professional service providers to support the South Australian Landing Pad.

Rolled out in 2019, the SA Landing Pad is designed to attract international and interstate companies with transformational and high-growth potential across the nine priority sectors of the Growth State Plan. The SA Landing Pad provides funding to those companies as grant recipients to help them become established in South Australia as part of their expansion in the Asia Pacific Region, Australia or South Australia.

The funding will be used by grant recipients to access professional services such as accounting, business advisory, legal advice, recruitment, migration services, marketing etc as well as subsidised office accommodation. These services are to be provided by local South Australian businesses so that the SA Landing Pad can help stimulate the local economy and create jobs.

Through the EOI, DTI will develop a directory of local service providers who can provide professional expertise to SA Landing Pad participants. The directory will be provided to SA Landing Pad participants for information only, and DTI would not endorse any of the providers listed in the document. Being listed in the directory does not guarantee a service provider will be engaged by a SA Landing Pad participant. Each participant is responsible for identifying, selecting and contracting their optimal service provider(s). DTI will have no contractual relationship with the provider(s).

Companies interested in being included in the South Australian Landing Pad service provider directory are asked to respond to the EOI by submitting their response via the work package listed on the 'work packages' tab. This includes service providers listed in the previous version of the directory.
