Innovation, Science and Technology Minister Anoulack Chanthivong<\/a> revealed the Emerging Technologies Commercialisation Fund at an event at Sydney\u2019s climate tech hub, Greenhouse, last week.<\/p>\n

The fund was first outlined in the 2025\u201326 NSW budget<\/a> and forms part of the government\u2019s Innovation Blueprint<\/a>, its broader plan for supporting innovation and research commercialisation in NSW. The first funding round has a $7 million pool.<\/p>\n

Chanthivong said<\/a> the program is aimed at a common challenge faced by emerging technology companies trying to bring innovations to market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt targets the well-known \u2018gap\u2019 in the innovation pipeline: the stage where promising technologies have early evidence but still need funding and support to mature into investable, scalable solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new fund does this through repayable grants that help de-risk development and accelerate commercialisation outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program incorporates elements of the state\u2019s Biosciences Fund and Physical Sciences Fund, while expanding support to technologies that could strengthen local manufacturing capability.<\/p>\n

Alongside the announcement, the government also revealed new recipients of the $4.75 million Biosciences Fund, a commercialisation program supporting biotechnology and life sciences startups.<\/p>\n

The latest round included All G<\/a>, which is developing infant nutrition designed to more closely replicate the composition of human breast milk. HydGene Renewables<\/a> also received funding for a biocatalyst technology that converts waste biomass into green hydrogen used to produce industrial chemicals such as ammonia and methanol.<\/p>\n

Funding also went to Number 8 Bio, which is developing a methane inhibitor designed to reduce emissions from cattle and sheep. The startup received $11 million in a Series A round back in November.<\/a><\/p>\n

Swan Genomics received support for a simplified DNA sequencing platform aimed at making the technology cheaper and more accessible for hospitals and diagnostic laboratories.<\/p>\n
