Queensland based companies can get excited about a new round of grant funding from the Queensland Government. The Smart Futures Fund is back after announcement about the program in the Budget on 27th June 2011.

From 1 August 2011 companies can apply for a range of programs, some brought forward from prior years, some new. The programs are:

• Proof of Concept Fund
• Co Investment Fund
• Research Partnerships Program
• Local and International Fellowships
• Commercialisation Champions

There isn’t much time until the first round of funding so companies interested in applying need to act fast. For more information visit the Smart Futures Fund on the Queensland Government website here.
