Commercialisation Australia– an  hypothetical discussion

Hosted by Access MP – Macquarie University’s Incubator,this session willask the question - is it worth applying to Commercialisation Australia? What are the essential elements CA is looking for in its applicants? Does CA prioritise the IP or the team?  What does CA mean by pre-commercial?  How am I to secure matching funding for my CA application? What does the CA application process involve?  How much does the CA process value add – or does it take your business too far off course? Who makes the final funding decisions? What are the most common mistakes businesses make when applying to CA? Can my business apply if we don’t hold a patent? Is the reporting too onerous? What are the odds of attracting funds?
