Other Industry

Whether you are in life science, materials, nanotechnology or any other industry, you are an expert in your field. But are you an expert in creating and running businesses?

As you know you need four key components to be successful;
1. Management
2. Product
3. Market
4. Money

and four key things to operate;
1. Space
2. Consulting
3. Investment
4. Networks

However it’s often not what you know, but what you don’t know that makes that difference in business, e.g. R&D Tax Concessions and Government Grants can provide start-up businesses with non-dilutive funds. Chances are you are eligible but not claiming yours.

ICSC provides what you need to succeed in your area of expertise, by supporting you in key functions. Links to the University of the Sunshine Coast for research, interns and graduates help you establish credibility and build your knowledge.
