Grants of up to $50,000 on an 80% grant basis are available for businesses with turnovers under $10 million to upgrade the skills, knowledge and connections required to commercialise new ideas.

The funding must be used to obtain expert advice and services to assist in the commercialisation process. This program is aimed at assisting people new to commercialisation including:-

  • researchers;
  • entrepreneurs; and
  • small companies;

who know their idea has commercial potential but don’t know what to do next.

Examples of expert advice and services include:-

  • business planning;
  • market research and developing a market strategy;
  • developing an export strategy;
  • commissioning of an intellectual property landscape report;
  • developing an intellectual property protection strategy;
  • undertaking management skills and development courses; and
  • developing a partnership or collaboration agreement with other businesses or organisations.
  • Each successful applicant will be assigned a private enterprise Case Manager who will assist in the company’s commercialisation process.
