Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO6805

Appreciation of the India business opportunity remains underdeveloped in Australia, as does an appreciation of the new modalities of doing business that will succeed with India.? Moving beyond the traditional buyer-seller mould, new opportunities exist for: co-investment in Australia and India, commercialised knowledge sharing and joint efforts to capture value chains and target markets in Australia, India and third markets. There are also immense opportunities to commercialise Australian research and IP with Indian partners. The Maitri Research Grants are valued at $1.25 million across two streams, promoting: new forms of industry collaboration; and accelerated commercialisation of research. The grants will fund research describing opportunities and challenges of navigating Indian markets and highlighting the successful strategies deployed by businesses and other entities to facilitate commercial success. Grants will also support the creative and effective dissemination of knowledge created to Australian businesses and other relevant parties. The grant opportunity will run from February 2024 to May 2024. The maximum grant amount is $300,000.
