Adelaide Research & Innovation

Adelaide Research & Innovation is South Australia's premier commercial research hub, facilitating access to the research and expertise of the University of Adelaide, one of the world's top 100 universities.

We manage the University's commercial research and consultancy partnerships, form new business ventures based on University expertise and develop the University's innovative ideas and technologies with commercial potential.

In business more than 25 years, Adelaide Research & Innovation has built a team of experts combining academic creativity with business acumen. Members of our team have worked as researchers themselves, as well as being able to draw on years of commercial experience and project management skills to meet the needs of industrial, research and commercial partners.

Our approach is simple – to match client needs and business opportunities with the resources and expertise of the University, enabling organisations to grow, expanding the research base of the University and translating research into real benefits for the community.

Whether you are seeking research expertise to solve a business problem, develop new products or shape public policy, Adelaide Research & Innovation can connect you with a network of more than 2000 researchers across the entire range of the University of Adelaide's research footprint.

While we help Australian businesses grow, we also manage multimillion projects with global partners and have extensive international networks with other research-based universities and institutes. With our government clients we are helping to manage and deliver research and services that improve health, education, security and welfare.
