Create a joint innovation lab

Harness ACU's industry leading talent by setting-up a joint research project and leverage ACU's campuses and connections with universities and other organisations, big and small.

Access research grants

Have your project funded by a governmental grant, whether this be large or small. ACU can advise and assist with the process of applying for government grants which could cover the entire cost of the project.

Grow a business idea

Everyone should have a chance to achieve their goals. We created Co-Lab, a free co-working space and business incubator, to turn your big dreams into a reality. These flexible, inclusive spaces in North Sydney and Strathfield are open to students and the general business community and have the essentials you need to get your ideas off the ground. You'll have access to free high-speed wi-fi, meeting spaces, unlimited caffeine and even a 3D printer.

Partnering with ACU means you will be able to run and lead seminars, think tanks and information-sharing events with a national multi-campus university.
