CSIRO Kick-Start is an initiative for innovative Australian start-ups and small businesses, providing funding support and access to CSIRO’s research expertise and capabilities to help grow and develop their business.

CSIRO's Kick-Start program helps start-ups and small businesses overcome some of these barriers to pursue R&D activities, by providing an end-to-end facilitation service, including:

• help with articulating your research question
• connecting businesses with relevant CSIRO researcher expertise and capability - think of us as you in-house R&D division
• matched funding support to improve the affordability or expand the scope of R&D services.
