How to turn a possibility into reality
Innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialisation are fundamental elements of the Curtin research mindset. We have a growing cohort of researchers who are engaged and interested in commercialisation opportunities. We’re supporting these researchers and their collaborators through a range of mechanisms that enable and foster their ideas from conception to commercial success.

The commercialisation process
All commercial prospects disclosed to us by Curtin researchers are managed through a diligent, methodical process and assessed by an expert advisory board.

Commercial opportunities
We’re looking for investment, collaboration and licensing partners for several technologies.

Support for entrepreneurs and start-ups
The three Curtinnovation programs – Ignition, Accelerate and Kickstart – are designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs at different stages of the commercialisation process.

Curtinnovation Awards
The Curtinnovation Awards identify new technologies, products and services arising from research at Curtin or its collaborators.
