Objectives
The Landscape and Animal Sector Productivity Grant (LAPG) helps companies defray the cost of purchasing equipment and creating new digital solutions to streamline work processes. It is part of NParks’ effort to encourage the digitalisation of the landscape sector to enhance productivity.
