Are representatives of a specific industry limited to only certain government grant programmes?

Small business representatives in a specific industry may be able to apply for many government grant programmes not focused specifically at their industry and yet may still meet their needs. National and regional tier grants are offered in each industry for specific purposes, so it is best to look through all of these offers when trying to narrow down the available programmes that may match your objectives. Once you know what you need money for and about how much you need, it is time to write a detailed small business plan and then start composing proposals.
