The Government has also announced a $392.4 million Industry Growth program, through which innovative start-ups and small and medium enterprises will be able to receive support to commercialise ideas and grow their businesses. The program will provide advice and matched grant funding for projects in the NRF’s priority areas, including those relating to cyber security. Companies’ ability to expand and sell their products into priority international markets will also continue to be supported by Austrade’s Landing Pads program. Through the Buy Australian Plan, we will harness Government’s purchasing power to support the cyber security sector in Australia. To further support the sector to flourish, we will work with industry to encourage the right kind of foreign investment in local cyber enterprises. 2. Maintain Australia’s research capabilities We will continue to support growth of the cyber security sector through measures reflecting our commitment to related research and development – including through Cooperative Research Centres and the Australian Research Council’s Centres of Excellence and National Competitive Grants Program. Through the revitalisation of Australia’s National Science and Research Priorities, the Government will explore options for further research efforts to drive innovation in cyber security and adjacent technologies. 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy 51
