About the Event

So you’ve found a great research team in a university to help you work on problems you need to solve to grow your business. Working with a strategic university partner can supercharge your business – unlocking access to outstanding research, to prototyping, and to support and funding to grow your business fast.

This session will draw upon case studies and a conversation with an SME who has built and grown long-lasting relationships with universities, covering issues like how to build a successful partnership, expectation management, IP and joint funding bids.

Presenter: Jane O’Dwyer, CEO of Cooperative Research Australia in conversation with Cameron van den Dungen, CEO Sleeptite and Dr Andrew Tucker, Director Research and Development, Sleeptite

Focused on the opportunities that lay in industry-led research and best practices in industry-research collaboration, Cooperative Research Australia is delighted to present a new professional development webinar series in 2024.
