Victoria-Israel Science and Technology R&D fund

A new round of funding is available for Victorian companies to turn their innovative ideas into commercial products under the joint fund agreement between the State of Victoria and Israel.

The VISTECH fund provides matching grants of up to US$500,000 to help Victorian companies connect with Israeli companies to commercialise their R&D and break into new markets on an international scale. VISTECH offers Victorian companies access to additional skills, capital, technology and knowledge transfer. The program also provides support to Victorians in finding suitable Israeli technology partners.

Companies working in biotechnology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, the environment, water, nano- and micro-technologies, information communications and synchrotron technologies are encouraged to apply.

Round Seven VISTECH project applications close on Tuesday 1 June 2010. To apply, visit:
