About the Technology Commercialisation Challenge

The India-Australia Technology Commercialisation Challenge (TCC) brings together Australian researchers, and Australian technology companies with Indian manufacturers to commercialise and scale cutting edge renewable energy technology and research.

Throughout the program, the TCC facilitates and funds India-Australia technology collaboration to diversify renewable energy supply chains and accelerate the energy transition.

Driven by the India-Australia Renewable Energy Partnership, the TCC recognises the R&D and market access opportunities that can benefit both countries. This initiative aligns Indian industry R&D priorities to target areas of Australian research and technology strength.

Are you an Australian Research Organisation or technology company looking to scale and connect with the large and growing Indian renewable energy market? Grant funding of $55,000 is available under this Program. Read more about the TCC 2.0 grant opportunity and submit a simple expression of interest in participating in the upcoming challenge.

Are you an Indian manufacturing company? To get involved and connect with leading Australian renewable energy technology as part of our upcoming round, TCC 2.0, find more information and get in touch by emailing TCC@csiro.au.

CSIRO in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is delivering Round 2 of the Technology Commercialisation Challenge (TCC 2.0) under the India–Australia Renewable Energy Partnership (REP) and New Roadmap for Australia’s Economic Engagement with India.

The REP drives bilateral climate and energy cooperation by advancing shared priority areas in renewable energy technologies and capacity building. These priority areas include two‑way renewable energy investment, accelerated technology commercialisation, and strengthening the future renewable energy workforce. These areas contribute to the clean energy ‘superhighway of growth’ under the Roadmap, demonstrating the important opportunity of strengthening Australia’s trade and investment partnership with India.

The TCC 2.0 connects Australian expertise with Indian renewable energy manufacturers to accelerate the commercialisation of clean energy technologies.
