Our Funded Projects
The Defence Innovation Partnership fosters defence-research and development in South Australia by connecting researchers, industry and government.
The Collaborative Research FundĀ is funded by the South Australian Government and Defence Science and Technology to support research that best meets the Defence Innovation Partnership criteria for desirability, viability and feasibility. The Collaborative Research Fund can assist to seed and position South Australian based universities and industry to win opportunities for further research and/or development investment.
These projects demonstrate the breadth of defence-relevant research supported so far by the Defence Innovation Partnership.
