Our Technology Research Unit brings together expertise across AI, robotics, cybersecurity, quantum and advanced manufacturing to drive the next wave of innovation and help Australia adopt, adapt and scale critical technologies for national impact.
We deliver multidisciplinary technology capability for Australia and help industry, government and the research sector solve complex challenges and harness critical technologies safely, responsibly and at scale. By connecting AI, robotics, cybersecurity, quantum and advanced manufacturing, we help partners create new products, strengthen industrial capability, improve resilience and deliver technology solutions with national benefit.
Our capabilities
- Artificial intelligence, software and data science
- Robotics and cyber-physical systems
- Cybersecurity and digital resilience
- Quantum technologies
- Advanced manufacturing, materials and engineering
- Waste technologies
How we work with partners
We work with industry, government and the research community to turn science into solutions that can be adopted and scaled. We can help organisations explore emerging technologies, reduce risk, build capability, test and validate solutions, and translate research into products, services and systems.
Being part of Australia’s national science agency means we can combine specialist technology expertise with deep domain knowledge across sectors including manufacturing, energy, resources, agriculture, health, defence, environment, government and critical infrastructure.
