BIG IDEAS = BIG BUSINESSES—5 AUGUST 2010

The commercialisation of University Research is big business. This forum explores how the Australian Government decides on which research to fund and explores the journey of taking an idea to market. The panel of researchers, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists talk about intermediaries and what personal attributes it takes to get an idea to market. Some of Australia's best researchers will talk about their ideas and aspirations for success. Join Paul Barclay from Radio National's Big Ideas program as he explores the in's and out's of turning big ideas into big profits.
