Robots and radiotherapy among projects awarded $18 million in Accelerating Commercialisation grants
More than 30 projects were awarded grants under the federal Accelerating Commercialisation program last week, ranging from pilot-scale superconductor manufacturing to an autonomous vehicle to assist blasting at mine sites.
Accelerating Commercialisation is part of the AusIndustry Entrepreneurs’ Programme, and provides funding and advice to help “[b]usinesses, start-ups and researchers” reach global markets with “a novel product, process or service ready to scale up”.
Grants can cover up to half of project costs and are valued between from $50,000 to $1 million.
Jevons Robotics was awarded the maximum amount to support ROEVA, which CEO and founder Todd Peate described in a statement as “a world first, autonomous, electric battery vehicle which will initially be used in the delivery of explosives, blast quality assurance and delivery of stemming.”
Other companies (a full list is reproduced below) sharing in the March round totalling approximately $18 million include HVAC and cooling system developer and manufacturer Glaciem Technologies, awarded $516,165 for a project titled Climate Friendly Cooling System for Supermarkets and Fast Food Outlets.
University of Wollongong spinout business Electrogenics was awarded $689,668 to develop MOSkin, a tool that is designed to precisely measure radiation dose and dose rate in radiotherapeutics.
LYRO Robotics – which announced this month that it is seeking up to $3.5 million in seed funding to further develop its automated farm solutions – was awarded $797,441 for development of a “multi-produce, intelligent packing robot”.
