Opportunities for Australian SMEs through CRC-P Round 8

The Prime Minister, the Hon. Scott Morrison MP, and Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, the Hon. Karen Andrews MP, announced the opening of CRC Projects Round 8 on 13 August 2019.

Through CRC-P Round 8, industry-led collaborations are provided with short-term (up to three years) matched funding of up to $3 million. 

The round includes $20 million in funding for projects that address reducing plastic waste and boosting plastics recycling and over $10 million for projects developing Australia's critical minerals capability. 

With particular focus on developing Australia's critical minerals capability, CRC-P Round 8 will help enable SMEs to develop important new technologies, products and services, which in turn ensures Australia is situated to take advantage of new market opportunities.
