Innovation Connections is a free one-on-one facilitated service to assist SMEs in establishing research priorities, locating researchers and providing access to funding to fast-track R&D projects.

We provide the Innovation Connections service as part of the Entrepreneurs’ Programme  offered by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. It provides eligible businesses access to expert advice, and financial support through grants and incentives.

When you join the program, you will receive practical advice and mentorship from a dedicated team of facilitators, who will work together with you to help achieve your business’s vision. Our facilitators can help guide you to be more competitive and productive, attract investors and commercialise your products, and work with the research sector to develop innovative solutions.

If you are ready to transform your business, the Entrepreneurs’ Programme and CSIRO can help you take the next step.
