UWS Innovation are enthusiastic at the opportunities presented by the New South Wales (NSW) government relaunch of the Tech Vouchers scheme. The Minister for Trade and Investment Andrew Stoner announced that eligible small and medium businesses can now apply for the second round of the NSW Government’s TechVouchers, with a pool of $500,000 available.
In terms of fostering local innovation, the vouchers (worth up to $15,000) provide much needed assistance in helping businesses gain access to high tech public sector research equipment and expertise. This support comes at a critical time as many Australian companies are struggling to find access to the financial and technical resources required take their R&D programs to the next level.
UWS has an ever expanding resource base of high tech research equipment and local businesses will be able to benefit hugely from this scheme. With the significant growth that the Greater Western Sydney region is experiencing, we hope that a parallel increase in innovative capacity may also be experienced with the aid of some of our world class research equipment.
Companies or research partners interested in taking advantage of the TechVouchers scheme to support access to UWS scientific equipment can find more information at the NSW government's website
