What is Innovation ANU?
Innovation ANU is a staged business and commercialisation development program for ANU students and staff designed to transform talent, creativity, and energy into tomorrow’s leading business and commercialisation ideas.
The program will provide participants with seminars and workshops on commercialisation and business planning, mentoring and guidance from professionals, and opportunities to work and collaborate within an interdisciplinary team.
Participants will have the opportunity to submit business or commercialisation plans, which will be judged by members of the ANU and local community. The top two proposals will receive awards of A$25,000 and financial, legal, and patent advice from top local firms.
All participants will also be eligible for the best ‘elevator pitch’, best ‘executive summary’ and best ‘green business’ awards of A$1000 each.
Involvement
There are basically two levels of involvement you can choose to take in the program.
- You can attend the seminars and learn about what is involved in commercialising ideas and launching a business.
- You can submit to the Awards program and be eligible for one of the 5 Awards available. A total of $53, 000 are available in Awards.
