About Cruxes Innovation

Cruxes Innovation exists to help universities and innovative organisations unlock the huge potential of Australian researchers and innovators to make a positive difference in the world. We believe the best way to do this is to give researchers and innovators themselves the skills and support to lead engagement and collaboration between research organisations, industry, community groups, and government to solve real-world problems.

Since its launch in early 2020, Cruxes Innovation has directly engaged with more than 2,000 Australian university researchers and technical professionals, across all disciplines, at more than 35 Australian universities across the Australian Higher Education sector. We work alongside researchers, innovators, and ecosystem leaders to help research and Higher Education organisations unlock the huge impact potential of Australian research.
Our support includes tailored consulting and facilitation services that prepare and accelerate the market readiness of research translation or commercialisation systems, projects, and technology propositions; and purpose-designed coaching and mentoring programs that build engagement leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and research commercialisation capabilities.
