Perth drone manufacturer Innovaero says its planned IPO is supported by a $7.5 million state government grant, disclosed in its $40 million IPO prospectus. The company presents the funding as part of its plan to build new facilities to support its next stage of growth.

The West Australian reports the grant is provided through Western Australia’s Investment Attraction Fund. According to the prospectus details, the money is earmarked for the design, construction and fit-out of a proposed new factory and headquarters in Jandakot. Both outlets frame the grant as a backing from the WA government as Innovaero advances its listing plans.

The coverage is largely aligned on the amount of the grant, the funding program, and the intended use tied to Innovaero’s Jandakot site. Differences are mainly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the IPO prospectus disclosure and the company’s acceleration of listing plans, while the other focuses more directly on the government funding support.
