Our Research Translation & Pre-Seed (RTPS) funding focuses on taking research through the first stage of the commercialisation process, validating hypotheses related to problem-solution-fit, market demand. We seek to support companies that are undertaking proof of concept, technology validation, working on their prototype and validating product-market fit.

RTPS supports institutional researchers and innovators aligned with University Innovation Platform (UIP) aiming to increase commercialisation of critical research with real-world benefits from Victorian universities

We invest in innovations over the long-term so that ideas and innovations translate into world-changing innovations that build new and emerging industries and solve complex problems.
