Program Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Victoria-Israel Science and Technology Research and Development (VISTECH) Program provides funding support for market-oriented collaborative research and development (R&D) projects by Victorian (Australia) and Israeli companies, consistent with the Cooperation Agreement in place between Victoria and Israel since 2005.  In Victoria, VISTECH is one of the programs of the Victoria Israel Science Innovation and Technology Scheme (VISITS). 
  
The VISTECH program is implemented by the State Government of Victoria through the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) in Victoria, and in Israel is implemented by the Israel Innovation Authority.  Successful Israeli applicants enter into a funding agreement with the Israel Innovation Authority.  Successful Victorian applicants enter into a grant agreement with the DEDJTR. 
  
FUNDING SUPPORT<\/strong>
The VISTECH program supports collaborative R&D projects aimed at achieving commercialisation of new or improved products, processes or services that can potentially contribute to the economic development of Victoria and Israel. Support for partner-matching is also available. 
  
Financial support of up to AUD$250,000 per project (approximately US$225,000, depending on exchange rate) is available to Victorian-based companies, provided by the Victorian Government as a grant.  Financial support of up to 50% of approved R&D expenses is available to Israel-based companies, provided by the Israel Innovation Authority, as a conditional grant. For both Israeli and Victorian companies, financial support of up to 50% of eligible R&D expenses of approved projects are provided. 
  
Victorian and Israeli companies that meet the program\u2019s eligibility criteria are invited to apply for funding support for collaborative R&D projects at any time. 
  
The VISTECH program is open to applications on a year-round basis.<\/strong>
