What sets this program apart
It requires researchers to be entrepreneurs.
It’s supported by business and technology experts. AEA Priority Managers are highly qualified, experienced, and motivated business and technology specialists. They will work closely with the university and industry/investor partners to guide the project team and keep the project on track to benefit all partners.
It’s designed to deliver fast outcomes. We expect projects to reach commercialisation value inflection points quickly. This means a fast win/fast fail outcome and a shorter project time.
