Entrepreneurs Programme – Accelerating Commercialisation
Following on from our recent seminar on access to grants, this seminar will provide a detailed overview of the Australian Government’s new flagship initiative – the Entrepreneur’s Programme.
The Entrepreneur’s Programme forms part of the new industry policy outlined in the National Innovation and Science Agenda, a business-focused element of the Australian Government’s broader Economic Action Strategy.
We are fortunate to be joined by Rob Crombie and Peter Batchelor, advisors for the Accelerating Commercialisation programme.
The presenters will provide an overview of the Entrepreneurs Programme, focussing on the Accelerating Commercialisation programme. Specifically, they will cover:
- How the programme can assist with business growth and competitiveness
- How the programme can assist in increasing financial support to commercialise novel products, processes and services
- Specific case studies in the Life Science and ICT sectors
- The eligibility criteria
The seminar will be approximately 1 hour.
