What Advance Queensland offers
The Ignite Ideas Fund provides grants to commercialise innovative products, processes or services — Tier 1 up to $100,000 (over up to 12 months) and Tier 2 over $100,000 up to $200,000 (over up to 24 months). AI and software commercialisation can fit.
A status caveat
As of this research the Ignite Ideas Fund was closed and expected to reopen around Q2 2026 (timing from a secondary source — verify on advance.qld.gov.au). Do not assume it is open. Program parameters, amounts, rates and round windows change frequently — confirm the current details on the official program page before relying on them.
How to start
Start on the Advance Queensland site or the business.gov.au Finder. Important: these are programs a business applies for directly with the government agency or, for the R&D Tax Incentive, claims through a registered tax adviser. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — not a registered or approved program deliverer, an Industry Growth Program adviser, or a registered R&D tax agent. dgm can help scope and build the AI project; eligibility and any claim are determined and lodged by you or a registered adviser. Queensland AI businesses can also use the federal programs.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Australian businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm can help you scope the AI project that a program would fund — but you apply to the program (or claim the R&D Tax Incentive with a registered adviser) directly. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
