S3B invites applications for the IP & Grant Support Round of the Semiconductor Innovation Fund, supporting early-stage companies and projects to strengthen their funding applications and commercial positioning through professional services.

This initiative provides subsidies for grant writing, IP advisory, and other business-enabling services to help Australian semiconductor companies secure funding, clarify their IP strategy, and focus on innovation.

Grants of up to $16,500 are available, with funding scaled based on the potential impact and scope of each project.

Applicants must be Australian-based semiconductor companies, start-ups, or project teams developing semiconductor-related products or technologies. Projects must demonstrate a clear need for support and outline the expected outcomes (e.g. submission of a major grant application, strengthened IP strategy, progress toward commercial readiness).

If your company is seeking support to prepare a competitive funding submission or refine your intellectual property approach, we encourage you to apply by 5.00pm AEST, 2 November 2026.
