The Australian Government is seeking applications
from potential managers for tranche two of the third
round of the Innovation Investment Fund program
and is running a series of information sessions for
potential applicants.
The Australian Government’s
Innovation Investment Fund promotes the
commercialisation of Australia’s research, through the
establishment of new fund managers to provide equity
finance to small, early stage Australian companies.
In
this tranche, the Government will license up to two
private sector fund managers. The Government will
provide up to $20m in capital to each fund, which will
run for ten years. As a minimum, the Government’s
contribution must be matched one to one with privately
sourced capital.
The industry information briefings
will discuss:
- how to apply for an Innovation Investment
Fund licence
- the eligibility and merit criteria for
applications
- how applications will be assessed.
To assist potential applicants information
sessions will be held on:
