AusBiotech is seeking mentors to guide and support up-and-coming startups as they navigate the commercialisation pipeline.
The Industry Growth Program (IGP)—an Australian Government initiative—supports innovative startups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) undertaking commercialisation or growth projects that will build Australian capabilities in priority areas.
As a selected Industry Partner Organisation (IPO) of IGP, AusBiotech is calling on its national network to recruit professional mentors for the biotech and medtech sectors.
As an IPO, AusBiotech is delivering ‘The Innovation Activation Program’, designed to support SMEs in their journey through research translation and commercialisation.
Each IGP participant will receive 10 hours of mentorship from selected industry experts. Experts interested in becoming mentors can submit an expression of interest (EOI). The mentoring program is a paid position that will begin in early 2025.
