ICT Commercialisation Program

Are you interested in accessing ICT intellectual property (IP) owned by the Queensland Government to assist your business in….

generating new products sales;
capturing new export opportunities; or
leveraging on an agency partner as a government reference site?

Then the ICT Commercialisation Program can assist you in becoming a commercialisation partner with Queensland Government agencies. Such relationships, through the acquisition or licensing of ICT IP, will provide you with the commercial rights to exploit market-ready, or near-market-ready ICT products.

The Queensland Government creates a significant volume of ICT related Intellectual Property (IP) through its ICT procurement or internal development activities.

As ICT IP becomes available, these opportunities will be promoted to industry by the Information Industries Bureau (IIB). Additionally, a range of services will be provided by the IIB to help facilitate the creation of relationships between agencies and ICT firms.

Who would benefit from the ICT Commercialisation Program?

The types of organisations who will benefit from participating in the program include:

Local ICT firms who are wanting new ICT products to complement their existing product offering;
Multinational ICT firms who are looking at providing an added value to their pool of existing local SME partners; and
Government agencies wanting to identify industry partners of ‘best fit’ for commercialisation.

The Office of ICT Commercialisation

The Government Innovation Services (formerly known as the Office of ICT Commercialisation (OICTC)) is now the commercialisation service hub for the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector.

The project management of commercialisation opportunities on behalf of Queensland Government Agencies is undertaken by the Australian Institute for Commercialisation (AIC) which has established the Government Innovation Services for this purpose. The AIC is a Queensland Government owned enterprise which is dedicated to enhancing Australia’s ability to commercialise intellectual property.
