The GCF is tackling some of Australia and the world’s most complex problems. It's investing in the tech and the people to help solve them.
The latest funding brings together researchers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from Australia and the Republic of Korea.
A total of $560,733 in grants will fund 8 project proposals:
- real-time monitoring to protect undersea power cables
- robot fleet management for factories, warehouses and farms
- smarter food packaging to cut waste and improve safety
- tackling regulatory barriers to solar recycling
- retrofitting diesel mining trucks with battery-electric systems
- more scalable hydrogen storage
- AI and robotics for shipyard transport
- lab-grown brain tissue to fight neurological disease.
The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) delivers the program with support from our department.
This is the final round of GCF. Our department continues to support international collaboration through the Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund.
