The University of Wollongong (UOW) has been named as a recipient of The Boosting Business Innovation Program (BBIP), which will give it access to funding to support entrepreneurs and small businesses in its region.
Announced this week, the New South Wales government program aims to foster a stronger collaboration between SMEs and the state’s academic and research institutions.
UOW’s industry and engagement team will share a portion of the total $11 million allocated to the program, along with other NSW research institutions and universities.
It’s currently unclear exactly how much of that funding pool UOW is receiving, but according to Investment NSW the exact amount will be published soon.
