Eleven Australian businesses have received grants via the Accelerating Commercialisation element of the Entrepreneurs’ Programme to undertake commercialisation activities to bring their new products, processes and services into domestic and international markets.

To date 264 Australian businesses have benefited from the commercialisation funding provided under the Entrepreneurs’ Programme.
