TechVouchers

TechVouchers provides opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to create research collaborations with public sector research organisations to help their business become more innovative and competitive.

TechVouchers benefits both industry and the public research sector by assisting SMEs with seed funding of up to $15,000 to help them engage with the NSW public research community and access research equipment and technical expertise.

To apply for a TechVoucher, businesses need to propose a project which will significantly benefit from a partnership with a research organisation - whether it is for further research, clinical trials or access to scientific equipment to support product development.

Businesses across NSW are encouraged to consider how their products and services might be improved through partnering with a research organisation. In particular, businesses that have not previously worked with universities or researchers, and businesses located in regional NSW are encouraged to apply.
