Grants of up to $50k available

Applications are now open for the NSW Government’s COVID-19 TechVoucher program.

This co-funding initiative provides support to start-ups, scale-ups or small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) developing technology-rich solutions that directly address the impact of COVID-19.

The voucher program has two funding streams aimed at supporting collaboration between start-ups or SMEs and Publicly Funded Research Organisations (PFROs), including Australian Catholic University.

Examples of activities funded by TechVouchers include:

• access to research facilities and equipment such as electron microscopes, medical imaging and other PFRO delivery partner facilities
• product or process design, such as engineering or technical design expertise to determine prototype structure, function or materials
• validating or demonstrating technical capabilities of a product, process or technology including clinical trials and in-market validation
• enhancing existing product capabilities or enabling entry to international markets.

Applications close: 29 October 2021, 5.00pm
