About the Program (Historical)

Accelerating Commercialisation was part of the Australian Government's Entrepreneurs' Programme and provided advice and funding to help businesses get novel products, processes and services to market.

The program had two key stages:

• Guidance Stage: Businesses were connected with an independent facilitator who assessed their project and provided recommendations to take it from prototype to first commercial sales.
• Grant Stage: Eligible businesses received matched grant funding (up to 50% of eligible project costs) to fund their commercialisation project.

Who Was Eligible?

The program was available to businesses, start-ups and researchers who had a novel product, process or service ready to scale up and commercialise in global markets.
