SMEs need ‘matchmaker’ service to access R&D: Victorian Chamber
Posted on
There has been a long saga of similar match-making service enablers in the past. These were set up at both federal and various states levels, but, after implementation, were eventually dissolved. Hopefully, there are retained learnings available from these past attempts which first can be reexamined before deciding to attempt something similar once again.
Didn’t we just have this Nationally? However, the funding was not renewed..
The Australian Defence Science and University Network (ADSUN) provides a matchmaking service between SME’s, Universities and Defence. The Defence Science Institute (DSI) Does this in Victoria on behalf of the state and federal governments. The ADSUN also has nodes in NSW, QLD, SA and WA, with discussions ongoing for Tasmania and NT to join existing nodes.
