DEAKIN University’s Recycling and Clean Energy Commercialisation Hub (REACH) is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from businesses looking to invest in research-led innovation projects to accelerate Australia’s clean, green manufacturing future.<\/p>\n

Based at the university’s Waurn Ponds campus, REACH is Australia’s largest recycling and clean energy advanced manufacturing ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Supported by a $50 million grant from the federal government’s Trailblazer Universities Program, industry and university contributions take the hub’s total program value to $380 million.<\/p>\n

Deakin is calling for expressions of interest from businesses ready to work with the university on research-led innovation projects valued between $2 million and $50 million.<\/p>\n

Trailblazer co-contribution funding is available for eligible projects aligning with REACH’s key focus areas of energy storage, hydrogen and carbon fibre, and recycling.<\/p>\n

REACH is partnering with industry to accelerate cutting-edge technologies, including scaling up of manufacturing supply chain technologies.<\/p>\n

Hub executive director Amy Hunter said the REACH ecosystem was an exciting opportunity for Deakin to work with innovation-driven partners to accelerate clean energy and recycling technologies that will boost Australia’s sovereign advanced manufacturing capabilities.<\/p>\n

“By combining the brightest minds from industry and world-class researchers we have the power to push the limits of technology innovation and put Australia at the forefront globally of the transition from a throughput economy to a circular economy.<\/p>\n

“We’re looking for partners who have compelling ideas for novel solutions, who want to pilot new technologies or processes, or who want to scale-up and commercialise projects to capture new markets”<\/p>\n

Tom Hussey, co-founder and chief executive officer at Xefco, an Australian company specialising in creating innovative textile and coating technologies, is one of Deakin’s founding REACH partners.<\/p>\n

“The Trailblazer program and REACH gives much needed support to young deep-tech businesses such as Xefco through the “valley of death” that is substantially overlooked by other government programs,” he said<\/p>\n

“This support is helping us and others to bridge the gap from early-stage research to successful commercialisation of our technology.”<\/p>\n

Expressions of interest to join Deakin’s REACH clean, green manufacturing ecosystem close at 5pm on May 3. For more information or to register, head to deakin.edu.au\/reach<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
