CSIRO

CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation) is an Australian national research agency and one of the largest science agencies in the world.

CSIRO has been ranked among the top one per cent of world scientific institutions across 13 research fields. The organisation aims to help industry, business and individuals; develops and improves new and existing technologies; has extensive partnerships and collaborative establishments to share expert knowledge and skills across Australia and overseas.

The AIC has worked in partnership with CSIRO on a number of projects that resulted in successful commercialisation of new ideas and technologies. The AIC has contributed to the world-class expertise and skills of CSIRO's staff by delivering Commercialisation Bootcamps, which is reflected in the case study below.
