  • Water recycling, waste recovery or small scale renewable energy technologies
  • Technologies that reduce the energy used by appliances or increase the efficiency of industrial processes
  • Products, processes or services to monitor emissions or power usage
  • Using biotechnology or nanotechnology to address the effects of climate change on humans and the environment
  • Information systems for businesses or consumers to compare the carbon footprints of different activities
  • Green building materials that make homes more energy efficient

 

Program Objectives

Climate Ready aims to:

  • Encourage innovation through increasing the level of research and development, proof-of-concept and early-stage commercialisation by Australian businesses that address the effects of climate change
  • Increase the international competitiveness of Australian businesses
  • Foster greater collaboration with industry and between industry and research institutions
  • Generate national benefit for the Australian economy

   

 Program Audience

Climate Ready is for small and medium-sized businesses.

Companies can apply for funding for any or all aspects of the development of an innovative product, process or service including research and development, proof-of-concept, and early-stage commercialisation.

The program offers small grants ($50,000 to $500,000) and large grants ($500,001 to $5 million).

The small grants support small business, as well as companies controlled by universities and public sector research organisations, through a simpler application form and reduced reporting requirements.

 

Funding Rounds

Applicants compete for limited grant funds, based on the merit of their application. The closing dates for the first four rounds are:

  • Round 1 - 4 September 2008
  • Round 2 - 4 December 2008
  • Round 3 - 12 March 2009 
  • Round 4 - 25 June 2009

  • Have, or is part of a group, that has an annual turnover of less than $100 million in each of the three financial years before the application lodgement date (note: for small grants, companies controlled by universities and public sector research organisations will be accepted on their own turnover cap, rather than that of the parent or group)
  • Be able to demonstrate that it will match the grant provided on a dollar for dollar basis over the life of the project
  • Be able to demonstrate that it has access to, or the beneficial use of, any intellectual property necessary to carry out and/or commercialise the proposed project.
