Spotlight on Commercialisation
At Curtin, we are committed to transforming cutting-edge research into real-world applications. We have a proud history of driving research outcomes and offering solutions to benefit industry and society across different disciplines.
Exclusive to Curtin staff and post graduate students, the Spotlight on Commercialisation series introduces the principles of research commercialisation, what’s involved, and what support mechanisms are in place for them at Curtin for early-stage commercialisation projects.
This series is supported by the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer. Curtin University has partnered with The University of Queensland and James Cook University, together with industry partners across Australia, to accelerate innovation, commercialisation and research in the resources technology and critical minerals sector.
