VISTECH - Victoria Israel Science and Technology R&D Fund

The Victorian Government opened its 6th round of funding for the joint Victoria-Israel Science and Technology R&D Fund entitled VISTECH on 7 July 2009. This program provides matching grants of up to $US500,000 to help innovative Victorian technology companies work with Israeli companies in joint R&D projects aimed at commercialising their research and development and breaking into Australian, Israeli and world markets. Working through VISTECH offers Victorian companies access to additional skills, capital, technology transfer and knowledge as well as dual government support. The VISTECH team can also help companies to find suitable Israeli technology partners through a partner finding service. Companies working across biotechnology and the life sciences sector as well as advanced manufacturing, environment, water, nano and micro, information communications and synchrotron technologies are encouraged to apply. Applications are now open and will close on 17 September 2009.
