That is why we are passionate about and want to be part of the Accelerator program.
[ON and CSIRO logos appear]
Recognising the challenges facing Australia’s innovation system, CSIRO as part of their 2020 Strategy have started the ON program to focus on building connections with the Australian entrepreneurial community to accelerate CSIRO’s entrepreneurial capacity to create impact for Australia.
Ms Liza Noonan has been appointed Executive Manager Innovation to lead the ON program. Ms Noonan has extensive experience in the innovation industry and was most recently General Manager of Springboard Enterprises Australia, an accelerator platform for female entrepreneurs. Prior to this she led Alcatel-Lucent’s ng Connect program in Australia.
“I’m thrilled to join CSIRO at this very exciting time to support implementation of the 2020 Strategy, particularly on translating excellent CSIRO science and technology into positive impact for Australia,” Ms Noonan said.
“The ON program will be key to delivering more breakthrough innovation from CSIRO. One of the first initiatives of ON is a new Accelerator for CSIRO concepts with high impact potential.”
The accelerator program started in July this year and was open to all CSIRO staff who submitted 240 ideas ranging from a handheld 3D thermal imaging system to a virtual power station. Nine teams were selected to be a part of the first accelerator cohort.
The program includes concepts such as the development of ultra-low gluten barley which may revolutionise the gluten-free market worldwide by providing an alternative solution to the high fat and low fibre diets of many gluten avoiders today.
“This program is different to other accelerators out there,” Ms Noonan said.
“These are deep tech projects that cross a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to agriculture. Our end goal is to get technology out to market that will address major challenges we face as a nation.”
The first Accelerator is due to finish in December this year, with a second round opening in early 2016.
