EESN Seed Grants Scheme launched

The Electrification & Energy Systems Network (EESN) Seed Grant Scheme has now launched! The Grants are designed to accelerate technological innovation in energy across the NSW ecosystem, in the pursuit of developing solutions for widespread deployment of the energy economy.

The funding is primarily aimed at technology innovation (Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 3-5), development, and impact projects at universities and start-ups that typically face challenges in securing funding within competitive schemes run by NSW and Federal Government, due to the maturity level of the innovation.

The Seed Grant Scheme aims to translate electrification and energy systems technologies and innovations, and support activities positively impacting impediments within the dimensions of regulations, policy, community transition, or economy, leading to positive decarbonisation outcomes.

Seed Grants of between $50,000 and $200,000 (GST exclusive) are available per project. Applications close 2 September 2024.
