Apply for a FaBA Industry Kickstarter Voucher
Have a great product idea but need help delivering it to market?
The FaBA Training Centre is awarding Kickstarter Vouchers to small-medium size businesses and start-ups to work with university researchers to provide innovative solutions to industry problems and to progress product development.
The Kickstarter Program is a competitive scheme that provides up to $50,000 for small to medium enterprises and start-ups to conduct research projects that advance the food and beverage industry in Australia.
Successful applicants will have access to food technology laboratories and FaBA experts (from UQ, QUT and UniSQ) to develop new products through market analysis, prototyping and commercialisation. The FaBA MakerSpace will also be available.
The Kickstarter Program requires 10-20% matching funding from the Industry Participant.
