At the Australia–International Collaborative Research Organisation (AICRO), we unite Australia’s universities, industry, and government with international partners.
Together, we co-design research that addresses national priorities and global challenges. We connect expertise, funding, and innovation pathways to accelerate discovery and translation.
Our partnerships deliver solutions with real impact for communities in Australia and across the world.
We help transform academic discoveries into innovations with direct application in industry and society. By linking researchers with industry and policy leaders, we ensure research outcomes are translated into measurable benefits. We also connect leading Australian researchers with global universities and institutes to co-design programs of international significance, fostering long-term collaboration, student mobility, and two-way knowledge exchange.
Our projects are aligned with the Australian Government’s research priorities, including health, climate resilience, AI, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. We deliver evidence-based insights that shape policy and create economic, social, and environmental benefits. Internationally, we partner with governments, development agencies, and multilateral organisations to co-develop initiatives addressing shared challenges — from healthcare access to climate change.
AICRO connects Australian businesses with world-class researchers to stay competitive in rapidly changing markets. By embedding research expertise into industry challenges, we drive productivity, foster innovation, and support the development of new products, services, and technologies. For international companies, we provide access to Australia’s innovation ecosystem, enabling joint development of cutting-edge technologies and solutions with Australian researchers and businesses.
We help partners secure competitive research grants, from ARC, NHMRC, MRFF, and CRC programs in Australia to Horizon Europe, NIH, World Bank, and ADB programs globally. Our expertise in project design, compliance, and submissions strengthens success rates and attracts critical investment for impactful projects.
We work with innovators to build strong pipelines that move research from concept to market. Through pilot projects, prototyping, and commercialisation support, we ensure research delivers industry-ready solutions. Every collaboration is designed for sustainable impact — advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals and creating long-term economic, social, and environmental outcomes for both Australia and international communities.
Our work extends beyond capital cities. In Australia, we partner with regional universities, SMEs, and innovation hubs to drive local growth and resilience. Internationally, we create two-way knowledge exchange: global expertise strengthens Australian research, while Australian innovation contributes to solutions that benefit communities worldwide.
At AICRO, we build world-class teams that bring together Australian and international researchers, universities, industry, and government.
Our work is collaborative and outcome-focused: we co-design projects, align national and global priorities, and secure competitive funding to drive research and innovation.
From funding identification through to project completion, we provide end-to-end support so that partnerships are strong, sustainable, and deliver impact for Australia and the world.
