Funding to support the biomedical industry in WA

Overview

Funding is available for WA health and medical life science organisations where strategically aligned opportunities exist, to attract overseas or interstate entrepreneurs or experts for a time-limited residency role.

Grant funding can be put towards travel and living expenses, as well as limited remuneration costs. The host organisation will provide the resident entrepreneur with in-kind access to staff, office requirements and cash resources (as needed), as agreed to prior to the application. 

Resident entrepreneurs are expected to deliver or contribute to a specific program, event, or schedule of activities during their tenure in WA which will help support the broader biomedical system.
