Dr David Martin, Innovation Facilitator, Entrepreneurs Programme, Ausindustry

With the assistance of a facilitator and funding, Innovation Connections provides a prime opportunity for The University of Queensland researchers to develop and deepen their relationship with industry, either by establishing a new partnership, collaboratively identifying pilot data (for example for a future leveraged grant funding application), or furthering an existing research relationship

David Martin, the facilitator associated with our University, will provide an overview of how to access the funding that it provides and case studies of where it has been effectively used by our researchers to develop long term working relationships with industry.
