CSIRO, Australia's national science organisation, has announced the launch of the India Australia Rapid Innovation and Startup Exchange (RISE) Accelerator program.

The RISE Accelerator provides support to science-based technology startups who are considering overseas expansion between India and Australia. 

The program will be tailored to support startups working on a range of priority areas between India and Australia, such as climate-smart agriculture, clean energy, and climate-smart mobility.

CSIRO is delivering the initiative in partnership with Atal Innovation Mission Official, the Government of India’s initiative promoting a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in the country.

The call for applications will be made towards the end of 2023.
