Grants & Funding

The South Australian Innovation Challenge is an initiative of EXCITE, the state’s 10-year science and innovation strategy. It aims to showcase the state’s research and innovation value chain by identifying solutions to a global problem that has the potential to transform supply chains and propel economic growth in South Australia.

With $1 million committed from the Government of South Australia, the SA Innovation Challenge focuses on the Growth State priority sectors of health and hi-tech, creating early market advantage and growth opportunities for South Australian businesses.

Innovators, start-ups and businesses from the local, national, and global community were invited to address the following challenge:

Demonstrate South Australia’s capability to harness frontier technologies across the research and innovation value chain to develop new products or services that augment the ability of a person at any stage of life to live independently, productively, with dignity and wellbeing, and create early market advantage for South Australian businesses.

Applications for funding through the SA Innovation Challenge are now closed. For more information, visit the South Australian Innovation Challenge.
