Innovation grants for R&D and commercialisation projects

Track innovation grants that support research, development, commercialisation, technology adoption, advanced manufacturing and capability building.

Before you shortlist

Innovation grants can be highly specific. Programs may focus on R&D, prototypes, commercialisation, collaboration, technology adoption, manufacturing, sustainability or sector priorities, with strict eligibility and evidence requirements.

A strong shortlist checks technology readiness, applicant type, co-funding, project milestones, IP position, partner requirements and the documents needed to prove capability.

R&D and commercialisation
Programs may support prototypes, trials, pilots, feasibility work, market validation and scale-up activity.
Partner and evidence needs
Some rounds require collaboration partners, technical plans, budgets, milestones and proof of capability.
Readiness matters
Teams should check whether the project stage fits the program before investing application time.
