Wounds Australia is pleased to introduce a new Incubator Grant at this year's Wounds Australia Conference in Adelaide this August.

Designed to support innovation and fresh thinking in wound care, the Incubator Grant will provide one emerging or small business with a complimentary exhibition space valued at approximately $6000. This opportunity is open to Wounds Australia members with start-ups or smaller companies with an annual turnover under $300,000, offering a unique platform to showcase new ideas, products or services to clinicians, researchers and decision-makers from across Australia.

"Wounds Australia members are renowned for innovation in best practice care," Wounds Australia CEO Jeff Antcliff said. "This grant encourages start-ups and smaller companies to innovate for better wound care outcomes."

We are now calling for expressions of interest. To apply, submit up to 250 words outlining what your business does, the problem it aims to solve and why your organisation would benefit from and deserve this opportunity. We are particularly interested in applications that demonstrate innovation, practical impact and alignment with better outcomes for people at risk of, or living with, wounds.

Please email your submission to admin@woundsaustralia.org by 27 March. 

Successful applicants will gain invaluable exposure, connections and the chance to contribute to the future of wound care.
