The kin8 Difference
Our Story
Our Mission is to turbo charge the tranlsation and commercialisaiton of Australian innovations
Innovation is critical for igniting productivity growth, and by extension sustained economic growth, over the long term. As a nation, Australia produces world-class research that is recognised as highly innovative by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In fact, Australia accounted for just over 3% of the world's top 10% of most-cited scientific publications in 2016, just behind Canada, Japan and France (2017 report). However, the number of patent applications, high-tech exports and startups created are well below the OECD average. We can do better.
