True academic success comes down to breakthrough research. And breakthrough research comes down to funding. With research grants increasingly difficult to win, commercial research is a compelling alternative. Work on real-world challenges and build your career options. Last year, we brought more than $30m in research funding into the University and that number is set to grow.

UOW is a rich source of novel concepts and technologies. UOW’s Innovation and Commercial Research (ICR) Unit work closely with researchers to identify ideas that have real commercial potential.
We work with businesses and investors to protect and commercialise the latest in UOW’s technologies.
In some cases, the technology will be technically proven and ready for an early stage licence.
In other cases, there may an opportunity for a business to be a partner in further research and development, potentially leveraging support from Government programs such as Australian Research Council Linkages or Commercialisation Australia.
Intellectual property
IP is valuable asset. By working with the ICR unit, UOW researchers can achieve a successful and clean IP outcome.
Industry engagement
University-business interactions can lead to productive collaborations exchanging knowledge and ideas, to enhance capabilities and technologies.
Funding opportunities
The Federal and State Governments offer several funding programs to support collaborative research between the University and industry.
