CSIRO�s SME Connect team connects Australian small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) with
Australia's research sector, facilitating and enabling innovation-driven partnerships through funding,
support, resources and access to facilities/expertise.
Further information about SME Connect Grant Funding Programs are available at a glance.
A range of (non-competitive) match funding opportunities are available for start-ups and SMEs to
engage with CSIRO, an Australian university, other publicly funded research organisations and some
Commonwealth/State government Departments.
Eligible businesses can progress product development, address technical challenges or undertake
validation activities through relevant research expertise and access support.
