INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
Chair’s Report
I am pleased to present the 2013-14 Innovation
Australia Annual Report.
The evidence shows that here, as in other
countries, more innovative firms are more
productive and competitive.1
Compared with their less innovative peers,
innovative Australian firms are:
⢠More than twice as likely to export and more
than five times more likely to increase the
number of export markets targeted.
⢠More than twice as likely to increase
productivity, employment and training.
⢠Three times more likely to increase
investment in ICT.
⢠More than three times more likely to increase
the range of goods and services offered.
⢠31 per cent more likely to increase income and
46 per cent more likely to report increased
profitability.
Australia has a strong record in innovation. Since
the 1980s, industry assistance has shifted away
from simple subsidies and other market
interventions that have advantaged those
industries able to attract political favour to
themselves. Instead, the Australian Government
has introduced policies to create the enabling
conditions for innovation - such as greater
emphasis on education and training and the
provision of research infrastructure.
1 World Economic Forum - Global Competitiveness Report 2013-14. Department of Industry - Australian Innovation Systems Report 2013.
In recognition of the fact that innovators are
unable to capture all the benefits that flow from
their own innovation, the Australian
Government has also introduced policies to
directly assist innovation. For instance direct
assistance is provided to innovative Australian
firms through the R&D Tax Incentive.
INNOVATION WITHOUT MONEY The cost to the Federal Budget of such policies is
substantial and at a time of considerable fiscal
stringency, which has led to some rationalisation
in the programmes for which Innovation
Australia has oversight. In this environment the
Board has been turning its attention to a host of
ways of driving a wave of innovation enhancing
change within government that requires little or
no funding from the budget.
Just doing what governments already do with
greater focus on facilitating innovation could
generate substantial gains. For example, more
responsive regulation is an important enabler of
innovation. The Board supports the Australian
Government’s regulation reduction reform
agenda to tackle over-regulation and red tape. To
take a simple, but far from trivial example, a
more systematic and streamlined approach to
ethics approval for scientific research would
ameliorate a substantial obstacle to research in
Australia, particularly in medicine.
3
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
The Board has long regarded better
collaboration between Australian researchers
and business as crucial. Professional rewards for
our researchers are too heavily oriented towards
publication, with research impact and relevance
to Australian circumstances (particularly in
social sciences like economics), getting too little
attention.
Government procurement can also drive
innovation. Public agencies and their officers
should be empowered, indeed required to
pursue innovation where it can lower costs and/
or improve outcomes as officers of the
Australian Army did when they asked why target
practice had barely changed since World War II.
Why indeed? Today a Sydney based company
exports mobile, programmable targets to
numerous countries around the world.
Spreading that mentality much more widely
within government could produce substantial
innovation benefits.
I have been championing the Board’s “Innovation
without Money” agenda with various
government agencies with a particular focus on
the opportunities for new public goods in the
age of information and the internet. Thus
Google, Twitter and Wikipedia are all new public
goods - each privately provided. The former
examples are funded from advertising profits
whilst Wikipedia is funded philanthropically.
What public goods might be languishing unbuilt
because they are unable to raise sufficient funds
from advertising? How might governments be
able to help and can we configure public private
partnerships to support the emergence of new
public goods? More prosaically, there are any
number of internet enabled solutions replacing
paper based routines - for instance parental
permission for school aged children. There’s an
application for that now - in fact several.
Governments should not mandate which
technology should be used but they should
ensure the institutions they fund don’t dawdle
in adopting new technology.
Further, not only should governments more
vigorously open up their own data, there are
things they can do to encourage more open
private data ecologies. For a knowledge economy,
data is the new infrastructure and the
innovation dividend from greater vigour here is
around $16 million per year.
Detailed personal data is unlikely to ever be
open data, but recently released UK research2
suggests that developing the legal and
institutional infrastructure to give citizens
control over their own data - so they could
release it on their own terms to trusted
information brokers - could generate at least as
much again. It will also be a key enabler of the
new age of personalised medicine.
There are countless such opportunities that have
limited impact on the budget in the short term,
but strong budgetary return over the longer
term as tax on the innovation dividend.
KEY PROGRAMME OUTCOMES In 2013-14, Innovation Australia assisted the
Australian Government by effectively
administering and delivering a wide range
of programmes. Key outputs at the end of
June 2014 include:
⢠The R&D Tax Incentive has so far registered
10,306 companies (11,936 research and
development performing entities) for the
2012-13 income year with $19.69 billion in
reported industry research and development
expenditure. Applications for the 2012-13
income year will continue to be received up
to 31 October 2014 from companies with
non-standard income years.
⢠Commercialisation Australia assisted 129
businesses, researchers and entrepreneurs
with grants valued in excess of $54 million.

INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
⢠The Clean Technology Investment Program
received 68 applications and 39 grants
were approved at a total grant value of
$18.71 million.
⢠The Clean Technology Food and Foundries
Investment Program received 76 applications
and 52 grants were approved at a total grant
value of $21.23 million.
⢠The Clean Technology Innovation Program
received 12 applications and 11 grants
were approved at a total grant value of
$18.21 million across a wide range of
industry sectors.
MAJOR AREAS OF POLICY ADVICE Recent research indicates that a
disproportionate amount of economic and job
growth comes from newly established firms,
which highlights the importance of such firms’
access to finance. This is a core function of the
financial sector and it has not been performing
well. In this spirit the Board has provided views
on proposed options for improving access to
early stage financing for innovative new
ventures to the Department of Industry and in
its submission to the Financial Systems Inquiry.
A growing phenomenon is ‘crowd sourced equity
funding’ which could provide access to wider
sources of finance for these types of Australian
businesses - along with its contribution to
market validation and marketing more generally.
The Board provided a submission to the
Corporations and Markets Advisory Committee’s
Review of Crowd Sourced Equity Funding to
outline what these measures might look like. In
the Board’s view, the central objective should be
to provide investor protection whist minimising
the transactions costs of doing so.
The Board also made a submission to the Senate
Finance and Public Administration Committee’s
Inquiry into Commonwealth Procurement
Procedures outlining some of the views set out
above.
With the closure of Commercialisation Australia,
the Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme , is
an important initiative that will offer flexible,
tailored and practical support that can be
accessed by all Australian businesses. Given the
importance of this initiative, the Board
encourages ongoing monitoring and dialogue
with businesses as this programme is rolled out.
The 2014-15 financial year will see progress on
the Government’s National Industry Investment
and Competitiveness Agenda. It will identify new
initiatives that will provide opportunities to
build on Australia’s strengths.
We also engaged with representatives from the
Agricultural White Paper Taskforce, National
Industry Investment and Competitiveness
Agenda, Energy White Paper Taskforce and
Vocational Education and Training (VET) Reform
Taskforce.
The Board will continue to work with, and
provide independent advice to, the Australian
Government on business innovation policies and
programmes from research and development
through to investment and the
commercialisation of new products, processes
and services over the coming year.
INNOVATION ADVOCACY One of the major functions of Innovation
Australia is to promote and market industry
innovation activities, programmes and benefits.
Some highlights for 2013-14 follow.
In February 2014, the Board met with Mr David
Sweeney from the United Kingdom Higher
Education Funding Council. The Council has
adopted a methodology for assessing and
directing funding according to research impact
that was originally developed in Australia, but
not persevered with here. Other meetings
related to collaboration with science and
universities and included meetings with CSIRO
Chair, Mr Simon McKeon AO, Australia’s Chief
Scientist, Professor Ian Chubb AC and Vice
Chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander of
Deakin University.
5
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
In May 2014, representatives of the Board visited
Geelong and the Deakin University precinct, to
facilitate a business leaders’ breakfast, including
consultations with local Geelong businesses.
This forum provided an opportunity to discuss
with local business leaders the transformational
reform required in this region as it restructures
with the closure of a number of major heavy
industry facilities. The Board left optimistic
about the talent and drive with which the task
was being tackled.
The Board visited several innovative entities in
the region including Carbon Revolution and
Carbon Nexus. Carbon Nexus is a $34 million
state-of-the-art fabrication and research facility
that is part of the Australian Future Fibres
Research and Innovation Centre funded by the
Australian Government, Deakin University and
CSIRO. Carbon Revolution is an Australian private
company that has developed a carbon fibre car
wheel providing a 50 per cent weight saving
resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced
CO2 emissions.
The Board will continue to advocate industry
innovation and explore collaborative
opportunities over the next twelve months.
APPOINTMENTS AND FAREWELLS During the year, the Minister appointed Dr
Marlene Kanga AM, Mr Nixon Apple, Ms Susan
Wilson and Mr John Vines AO as members of the
Board. Dr Kanga was also appointed as Chair of
the R&D Incentives Committee.
The Board also farewelled a number of long
serving members including previous Innovation
Australia Chair, Mr David A Miles AM; and
members: Dr Jonathan Spring; Ms Elizabeth
Lewis-Grey and Dr Peter Riddles.
The Board acknowledges the services of retired
members who served on its various committees
and thanks them for their commitment to the
work of the Board.
IN CONCLUSION I would like to thank all my colleagues on the
Board and its Committees over the year for their
commitment to our work and acknowledge the
contribution of the Department. Particular
thanks to our former Chair Mr David A Miles AM
for his leadership and dedication to our work.

INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
R&D TAX INCENTIVE The R&D Tax Incentive is the Australian
Government’s principal measure to encourage
industry investment in research and
development. It is a broad-based, market-driven
programme that aims to boost company
competitiveness, improve productivity and
deliver economy-wide benefits to Australia.
The R&D Tax Incentive was established in 2011
providing assistance to R&D performing entities
with income years that commenced on or after
1 July 2011.
The R&D Tax Incentive Integrity Assurance
Framework assures the continued sustainability
and success of the R&D Tax Incentive, by
providing a holistic approach to programme
integrity which recognises the need to
encourage active participation in the
programme, maintain ongoing dialogues with
programme participants in the development of
new guidance and education material, and to
promote openness and transparency through
compliance assurance activities.
In 2013-14, AusIndustry continued to promote
the R&D Tax Incentive and released more
customer guidance as part of the guidance-led
approach to programme administration outlined
in the Integrity Assurance Framework. This
included sectoral, large business and
interpretation guidance products. This was
complemented during 2013-14 through the
delivery of over 50 workshops, which were
attended by over 550 companies. Additionally,
more than 350 education appraisals were
completed, and the R&D Tax Incentive Online
Eligibility Tool was accessed by over 12,000
visitors.
There was also:
⢠a very high level of compliant applications;
⢠a shift to almost 100 per cent of applications
being submitted electronically; and
⢠increased use of Advance and Overseas
Findings provisions.
At 30 June 2014, there were 10,306 companies,
(11,936 research and development performing
entities) registered under the R&D Tax Incentive
for the 2012-13 income year. These companies
reported research and development expenditure
totalling $19.69 billion. The 2012-13 income year
is not yet complete; applications will continue to
be received up to 31 October 2014 from
companies with non-standard income years.
INNOVATION INVESTMENT FUND The Innovation Investment Fund (IIF) programme
was established in 1997 to invest in early stage
high growth potential companies
commercialising Australian research. Committed
capital is used for investment purposes and
management fees.
Seventeen funds have been licensed under the
programme as at 30 June 2014. Eight fund
managers have wound up their IIF funds and
nine are still operating. The funds have invested
in 138 investee companies, with the majority
involved in the commercialisation of
information, communication or life science
technologies. As at 30 June 2014, there are 12 IIF
investee companies listed on the Australian
Stock Exchange.
As part of the 2014-15 Budget the Government
decided not to proceed with the fourth round of
the Innovation Investment Fund programme.
Existing funds will continue to invest in
Australian startups. These funds still have
approximately $200 million in uncalled capital
(government and private).

EARLY STAGE VENTURE CAPITAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS Early Stage Venture Capital Limited Partnerships
(ESVCLP) is a venture capital investment vehicle
providing flow-through tax treatment for
investors and a complete tax exemption for
income (both revenue and capital) received by its
domestic and foreign partners. It aims to
stimulate Australia’s venture capital sector and
investment into early stage companies.
As at 30 June 2014 there were 15 (including seven
conditionally registered) ESVCLPs registered. Of
the $324 million committed to registered
ESVCLPs, $160 million is from funds also licensed
under the IIF programme (Australian
Government and private investor co-investment
funds).
VENTURE CAPITAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS Venture Capital Limited Partnerships (VCLP) is
designed to stimulate the Australian venture
capital industry by providing incentives for
increased foreign investment which will support
patient equity capital investments in relatively
high-risk startup and growth businesses which
would otherwise have difficulty in attracting
capital through normal commercial means.
As at 30 June 2014, there were 43 registered
VCLPs (including four conditionally registered)
with approximately $5.4 billion in committed
capital, of which approximately 41 per cent is
sourced from overseas investors.

Commercialisation Australia
ESTABLISHMENT Commercialisation Australia (CA) was announced
as part of the 2009-10 Federal Budget and
opened to applications on 4 January 2010. It had
funding of $267.70 million over five years to
2013-14, with ongoing funding of $82 million a
year thereafter.
OBJECTIVES The objective of the programme was to build the
capacity of and opportunities for, Australia’s
researchers, entrepreneurs and innovative firms
to convert intellectual property into commercial
ventures, creating high skill jobs and increasing
our global competitiveness.
CA ceased to accept new applications or requests
for funding extensions from 21 March 2014 when
it became clear that the programme would be
considered as part of the Budget process.
Applicants were advised of this decision at the
time.
As an outcome of the 2013-14 Budget, the
Australian Government decided to close the CA
Program to new applications.

PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE During 2013-14, the CA Board considered
216 applications. Of these,129 applications were
approved for funding, for a total value of
$54.25 million.
CA provided assistance under four key
components:
⢠Skills and Knowledge - grants of up to $50,000
to purchase specialist advice and services. This
component helped participants identify what
specialist advice they most needed and where
to access it. Applicants were required to
match the grant funding on a 80:20 basis
(where the applicant contributes 20%) and
complete the component within 12 months.
⢠Experienced Executives - grants of up to
$350,000 (up to $175,000 per year) were
provided to engage an experienced Chief
Executive Officer or other senior executive.
Applicants needed to match the grant
funding on a 50:50 basis and complete this
component within 2 years.
⢠Proof of Concept - grants of between $50,000
and $250,000 were to assist with testing the
commercial viability of business models or an
idea for a product, process or service.
Participants were required to match the grant
funding on a 50:50 basis and complete this
component within 12 months.
⢠Early Stage Commercialisation - grants were
from $50,000 to $2 million to undertake
activities focusing on enabling a new product,
process or service to be developed to the stage
where it could be taken to market.

CASE STUDY:
Urban Ecological Systems - World-first horticulture system for boys from the bush COMMERCIALISATION AUSTRALIA
It was a serendipitous meeting when Urban Ecological Systems Australia (UESA) Pty Ltd co-founder
Hogan Gleeson met Commercialisation Australia Case Manager John Grew at a social function in
Sydney in 2000.
Hogan, with co-founder Andrew Bodlovich, had developed a patented low energy, sustainable,
organic food production system. Grew, who maintains a keen interest in commercialising diverse
aquaculture projects in Australia and Asia after a 30 year career in the life science and industrial
biotechnology sector, had insights galore to offer about the technology concept, upsides and issues.
As a direct result, the landmark aquaculture concept, which saw UESA win their episode on the ABC
Inventors Program seven years ago, is today a commercial reality.
CASE STUDY
INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
18
That first meeting led UESA to a successful $1.9 million Early Stage Commercialisation grant which
has seen that concept grow into a state-of-the-art world-first horticulture system. Growing herbs
and barramundi simultaneously - with zero effluent - in western Sydney, the $5 million innovative
integrated glasshouse and aquaculture poly-culture system is so impressive it has won UESA a
five-year organic produce supply agreement with Coles. UES Australia is selling the herbs and
barramundi through its marketing partner, Edison, to Coles each week.
Commercialisation Australia supported the UESA R&D facility scale up and technology optimisation
at a green field site near Narellan NSW, close to the key fresh food market of Sydney.
Today the state-of-the-art glasshouse, on a seven hectare block at Cobbitty owned by the University
of Sydney, links beds of herbs by a complex system of pipes to water tanks containing barramundi.
The concept is beautifully simple and effective: As the barramundi grow, their waste is biologically
transformed into safe plant nutrients and then used to feed parsley, basil and coriander. The only
way that water leaves the system is through evaporation from the plants.
The unique and patented system, the first of its size and scale in the world, is forecast to produce
more than 10 times more organically-certifiable food than traditional field horticulture. Because it
produces no effluent, it is ideally suited to urban and suburban environments.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
R&D Tax Incentive
ESTABLISHMENT The R&D Tax Incentive was established in 2011
providing assistance to R&D performing entities
with income years that commenced on or after
1 July 2011. The R&D Tax Incentive is established
by the legislative provisions under Division 355
of Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and Part III of
the Industry Research and Development Act 1986.
The R&D Tax Incentive is the Australian
Government’s flagship programme for
encouraging business investment in research
and development (R&D), and for growing and
sustaining innovative, competitive and export-oriented Australian industries. The two core
components are:
⢠a 45 per cent refundable tax offset (equivalent
to a 150 per cent deduction) to eligible entities
with an aggregated turnover of less than
$20 million per annum; and
⢠a non-refundable 40 per cent tax offset
(equivalent to a 133 per cent deduction) to all
other eligible entities.
AusIndustry and the Australian Taxation Office
(ATO) are responsible for delivering the R&D Tax
Incentive and work closely together in the
administration of the programme.
The R&D Tax Incentive is available to:
⢠corporations that are incorporated under an
Australian law;
⢠foreign corporations that are Australian
residents;
⢠foreign corporations that are resident of a
country with which Australia has a double tax
agreement and carry on business through a
permanent establishment in Australia; and
⢠public trading trusts with a corporate trustee.
Beneficiaries of the R&D Tax Incentive must
apply annually to Innovation Australia (via
AusIndustry) for registration of activities
undertaken in the previous income year. Eligible
companies may lodge registration applications
during the 10 months after the end of their
income year, and then claim the tax incentive for
research and development in their annual tax
returns filed with the ATO.
OBJECTIVES Through the R&D Tax Incentive, the Australian
Government aims to achieve its broader
objective of developing internationally
competitive industries in Australia by:
⢠encouraging industry to conduct research and
development activities where the knowledge
gained is likely to benefit the wider Australian
economy; and
⢠providing an R&D incentive for industry to
conduct, in a scientific way, experimental
activities for the purpose of generating new
knowledge or information in either a general
or applied form.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES During 2013-14, the high level of collaboration
continued between AusIndustry and the ATO.
This work was progressed under the direction of
an executive level management committee, the
Joint Administrative Governance Group (JAGG).
The Group was established under a
Memorandum of Understanding between
AusIndustry and the ATO.

Under the R&D Tax Incentive, companies self-assess the eligibility of their research and
development activities, with compliance
monitored by AusIndustry on behalf of
Innovation Australia.
At 30 June 2014, 11,936 R&D performing entities
(including some that are part of consolidated
groups for tax purposes) have so far registered
under the R&D Tax Incentive for the 2012-13
income year. Despite being an incomplete year,
this still represents an increase of over 1,500
R&D performing entities compared to the
complete 2011-12 income year. Reported
expenditure was $19.69 billion (Figure 2.1).
The 2012-13 income year is not yet complete;

ADVANCE AND OVERSEAS FINDINGS Companies wishing to register research and
development activities under the R&D Tax
Incentive, which they plan to conduct overseas,
must lodge an Advance and Overseas Finding
application and receive a positive finding to
claim overseas expenditure.
An Advance Finding is a ruling on whether all or
part of an activity is a core research and
development activity, a supporting research and
development activity, or neither of these.
Advance and Overseas Findings give companies
certainty about eligibility before they conduct
their research and development activities or
register them under the programme.
During 2013-14, 202 applications for Advance
and Overseas Findings were received for the
2013-14 income year, and 229 decisions related
to Advance and Overseas Finding applications
were made (consisting of 27 Advance Findings,
and 202 Overseas Findings). Of the 229 Findings
completed as at 30 June 2014, some Findings
related to earlier income periods of R&D activity.
RESEARCH SERVICE PROVIDERS The Australian Government is committed to
encouraging business to access R&D expertise
and skills provided by public and private sector
research and development organisations. The
R&D Tax Incentive allows for the registration of
Research Service Providers (RSPs) who offer
expertise to companies that do not have access
to the specific skills and resources they require
to undertake research and development.
RSPs also allow companies to benefit from the
R&D Tax Incentive by contracting their research
and development work to an organisation with
RSP status. Companies that use RSP services do
not have to meet the $20,000 expenditure
threshold for the R&D Tax Incentive.
As at 30 June 2014, 198 organisations were
registered as RSPs. The list of organisations is at
Appendix E.
JOINT ADMINISTRATION WITH THE AUSTRALIAN TAXATION OFFICE As joint administrators of the R&D Tax
Concession and R&D Tax Incentive programmes,
AusIndustry and the Australian Taxation Office
(ATO) engaged closely throughout the year.
The administration of the R&D Tax Incentive was
progressed under the direction of an Executive-level management committee the Joint
Administrative Governance Group (JAGG). The
group was established under a Memorandum of
Understanding between AusIndustry and the
ATO. This joint administrative effort is aimed at
ensuring that education, guidance and
compliance products delivered by both
organisations are consistent with the objectives
of the programme.
JAGG’s principal focus is on ensuring the
ongoing integrity of both the eligibility of
claimed research and development activities
registered with Innovation Australia, and the
veracity of related expenditure claims lodged
with the ATO by participants in the programme.
In line with the above, key collaborations
included:
⢠ongoing consultation with the National
Reference Group, which includes key external
stakeholder groups and represents a forum for
discussion of administrative and programme
delivery matters;
⢠joint development of new guidance materials
in line with the ongoing delivery of the R&D
Tax Incentive; and
⢠operational interaction between the
AusIndustry and ATO distributed networks.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
PROGRAMME INTEGRITY ASSURANCE On behalf of Innovation Australia, AusIndustry
actively monitors compliance under the R&D Tax
Incentive on a risk management basis.
Compliance findings show that the majority of
companies represent a low risk in respect of the
eligibility of their research and development
activities. AusIndustry’s risk assessment may
lead to formal determinations or Findings of
research and development eligibility by
Innovation Australia or a delegate, which may in
turn result in denial of benefits provided under
the R&D Tax Incentive.
Through its national customer service network,
AusIndustry continues to provide a range of
programme guidance materials, educational
seminars and risk assessment activities.
During 2013-14, the key elements of
AusIndustry’s guidance-led delivery of the R&D
Tax Incentive included:
⢠the release of three guidance products for the
Energy, Manufacturing, and Built Environment
sectors;
⢠the release of two animated case studies for
the Information and Communications
Technology and Agri-food sectors;
⢠the release of a Guide to Interpretation which
sets out how AusIndustry interprets key
elements of the legislation;
⢠the release of a Large Business Review product
guide;
⢠the piloting of an R&D Tax Incentive
Curriculum aimed at educating accountants
and tax agents new to the programme;
⢠over 350 educational appraisals completed;
⢠over 220 customer visits and workshops
(consisting of over 170 customer visits, and
over 50 workshops delivered to more than
550 companies); and
⢠over 1,400 compliance assurance reviews.
Other guidance continues to be prepared and
the approach adopted is grounded in effective
stakeholder liaison and feedback. AusIndustry
continues to release its quarterly R&D Tax
Incentive electronic bulletin to an extensive
mailing list including participant companies, tax
agents and other stakeholders.
The peak consultative group for the programme,
the R&D Tax Incentive National Reference Group,
met twice in 2013-14. The National Reference
Group provides key stakeholders and
programme administrators with a joint forum to
identify, prioritise and discuss technical and
administrative issues relating to the R&D Tax
Incentive. The National Reference Group is co-chaired by AusIndustry and the ATO.
GOVERNANCE The R&D Tax Incentive and R&D Tax Concession
are administered by Innovation Australia
(assisted by AusIndustry) and the ATO.
The R&D Incentives Committee (R&DIC)
administers both programmes under delegation
from Innovation Australia.
The role of R&DIC is outlined in Section 3 -
Corporate Governance.
The R&D Tax Incentive Advisory Committee
(TIAC) was established as a committee of
Innovation Australia to monitor the
implementation and operation of the R&D Tax
Incentive programme. Following the
implementation and establishment of the R&D
Tax Incentive, TIAC was revoked with effect from
31 March 2014. Ongoing monitoring functions of
the programme will be performed by R&DIC and

De Bruin Engineering R&D TAX INCENTIVE
With the local sawmilling industry in decline, Mt Gambier business de Bruin Engineering
decided to combat a dwindling customer base by investing in research and development
in an entirely new field - agriculture.
In 2010 the business won the licence to manufacture an innovative weed controller - the de Bruin
Harrington Seed Destructor (HSD), which was invented by a Western Australian farmer and
commercialised by the Grains Research and Development Council after collaboration with the
University of Western Australia and the University of South Australia.
The investment is beginning to pay off, with de Bruin Engineering increasing its staff numbers to
meet growing demand for the innovative machinery which offers broadscale farmers a mechanical
way to combat herbicide-resistant weeds.
Before winning the licence for the HSD, de Bruin Engineering had no products as such - it was a
general engineering business that serviced the 60,000-strong greater Mt Gambier region. While this
side of the business continues, the business is excited by the new opportunities the HSD provides.
CASE STUDY
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

“All of the customers for the HSD are so far Western Australian broadscale farmers - a market that
had never heard of us before,” says General Manager, John Millhouse. “We have been pleasantly
surprised by the strong demand for the HSD.”
In the first year, the company built and sold two of the $198,000 units, but found there were some
reliability issues with the belt drive system, which required significant R&D to resolve.
“We had to spend about $250,000 in R&D in the first year to improve the design, which involved
commissioning a hydraulic model,” Mr Millhouse said. “The new model HSD we have developed is
proving much more successful - we are building five units this year.”
This R&D was supported by the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive.
With projected HSD sales of $1 million in 2014/15, de Bruin Engineering is optimistic that the
investment in the de Bruin HSD will pay dividends well into the future. Already it has increased its
staff numbers from 25 to 32, with another three positions expected to be created by mid-2014.
The business’ investment in the HSD may also lead to new opportunities for innovative solutions for
the agricultural industry.
“We knew nothing about farming when we started, and we’re not experts now, but we do know a
lot more. One of the things we are discovering is that there are opportunities to do things better.
With Australia’s reputation and standing as a ‘food bowl’, we are confident the future is bright for
us,” Mr Millhouse said.

Sage Technology - Turning sage advice into action R&D TAX INCENTIVE
In 1997, Sage Technology, based in Morwell, Victoria, designed its first safe-work system
in conjunction with Loy Yang Power.
Built around then world’s best practice isolation and permit management processes in the power
industry, the system became the Australian power industry standard Electronic Permit to Work
(ePTW) with the support of Loy Yang Power.
As technology marched on, Sage actively toiled to move with the times, reinvesting profits and
taking significant risks to ensure it continued meeting its customer needs; an approach which has
rewarded it well by allowing it to win new customers in a range of new markets.
To that end, in 2007 it introduced a new browser-based system that incorporated risk, isolation and
permit management and it became Australia’s first Integrated Safe System of Work - SageSURPASS.

ePTW solutions keep thousands of workers safe globally and add value by saving money,
streamlining processes, maximising productivity, and reducing downtime every day.
Sage Technology has been developing, implementing and supporting electronic Permit to Work/
Integrated Safe Systems of Work for more than 15 years. The company has products in almost all
major resources companies in Australia and is highly regarded and competitive with established and
well-resourced Northern Hemisphere market players.
Employing 30 people, Sage undertakes all research, design and development work from its offices in
Morwell. This R&D has been supported by the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive.

The Austral Brick Co (Brickworks) - Getting fired up over energy efficiency CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Brickworks is a group of Australian-owned companies involved in manufacturing a range
of building products, as well as property development and investments, with a market
capitalisation of $1.6 billion.
The Austral Bricks division produces bricks and pavers for domestic and international markets. The
division is energy intensive with power costs accounting for more than 20 per cent of total costs at
some facilities.
Rising gas and electricity prices, combined with carbon pricing, led to Austral - and parent Brickworks
- examining ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. With a $498,875 grant
from the Clean Technology Investment Program, Austral is undertaking an innovative plan to use
landfill gas to help power its Horsley Park facility in New South Wales.

“As a company, we’ve always had strong focus on energy efficiency,” says Steven Mouzakis, National
Energy and Sustainability Manager at Brickworks. “This has been from an environmental and
financial perspective.”
In 2012, Mr Mouzakis and other Brickworks staff travelled overseas to explore ways to reduce the
amount of natural gas required to fire kilns in the brick-making process. In France and the United
States, the team uncovered the methods of firing kilns using gas produced from landfills.
Decomposing organic materials in landfills produces methane gas. In this new process, methane is
captured and is used as heat to fire kilns.
Austral’s Horsley Park brick-making facility sits next door to Veolia’s landfill. At present, Veolia collects
methane from the landfill and burns it (known as flaring) to ensure it doesn’t escape into the
atmosphere.
With the grant, Austral will pipe this methane into its facility and harness the landfill gas to power
production. The company will replace approximately 50 per cent of its natural gas needs with landfill
gas. Austral believes this will be the only brick kiln in Australia to be currently using this technology,
and the company expects to reduce site-wide carbon emissions intensity by 32 per cent and save
$290,000 in annual energy costs.
Mr Mouzakis said the success of the grant application has prompted other Austral and Brickworks
staff to identify and apply for funding for other projects to reduce energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions.
“Given the current economic climate and market conditions, capital spending has been tight at our
company. The Clean Technology Investment Program has enabled us to pursue capital projects that
may otherwise have not gone ahead,” says Mr Mouzakis. “We’ve seen a flurry of additional grant
applications that have been submitted since our success with the landfill gas project.”
For example, Austral also received a $112,029 grant from the Clean Technology Innovation Program to
develop a brick using biomass materials that will generate fewer carbon emissions during
production.
The Clean Technology Innovation Program funding will contribute towards an industrial-scale trial to
manufacture the new brick and test its structural and environmental properties.
With initiatives funded by the grant, Austral Bricks expects to:
⢠reduce site-wide carbon emission intensity by 32 per cent
⢠cut annual energy costs by up to $290,000
⢠replace 50 per cent of its natural gas needs with landfill gas.

Bega Cheese Limited - Cooling energy use in cheese production CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FOOD AND FOUNDRIES INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Bega Cheese, an iconic brand, has been
examining ways to reduce energy consumption.
In particular, the company wanted to improve
the efficiency of its refrigeration systems.
Refrigeration is a major element of cheese
production, as it is used to chill the milk when it
arrives in the factory and regulates cool room
temperatures.
With a $219,257 grant from the Australian
Government’s Clean Technology Food and
Foundries Investment Program, Bega is
transforming its refrigeration facilities at two
sites in Bega, New South Wales. The company is
increasing chilled water capacity and installing
variable refrigeration controls to optimise the
pressure in refrigeration systems and reduce the
workload of compressors.
Bega is also introducing suction splitting to
allow different areas of the plant to be
maintained at various temperatures without
losing compressor efficiency.
The company expects to save $147,600 in
annual energy costs from all of these measures
and reduce site-wide carbon emissions by
9.4 per cent at one site and 4.1 per cent
at the other.
“By improving our refrigeration and lighting
arrangements, we’re actively reducing our
carbon footprint,” says Elvis Amair, Bega’s

Kagome Foods Australia - An energy efficient outcome for tomato processor CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FOOD AND FOUNDRIES INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Kagome Foods Australia (Kagome) is the
nation’s largest tomato processor, with around
200,000 tonnes of tomatoes processed each
year in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley. It grows and
harvests its own tomatoes and supplies a
number of major domestic and international
companies. In recent years, Kagome has been
looking to expand production and fill gaps in
the market.
However, with a high Australian dollar and rising
energy costs, the company needed a lower cost
base to underpin sustainable growth. For
Kagome, energy efficiency is also about being a
good corporate citizen and meeting the
company’s environmental and social
responsibilities.
“To survive we need to remain competitive on a
cost basis, and to boost our scale,” says Paul
Whitford, Kagome General Manager. “But we
can’t just get bigger and not address our cost
structure.”
With close to $2 million in grants from the
Australian Government’s Clean Technology Food
and Foundries Investment Program, Kagome is
working to reduce its energy costs and produce
twice as much output for the same energy
input.
At the centre of Kagome’s plans is the
installation of a $5.4 million mechanical vapour
recompression (MVR) falling film evaporator,
which has been nicknamed ‘Apollo’. Evaporation
is a major - and energy intensive - part of the
company’s production process. While raw
tomatoes are typically 95 per cent water and 5
per cent solid, Kagome needs to evaporate water
levels to around 70 per cent to meet its
customers’ needs.
Under MVR, heat from evaporated vapours is
captured in the same evaporator. This process
means that only a small amount of steam is
required for heating. Steam from the MVR
turbine is also recovered and used in the triple
effect evaporator. The concentrated tomato juice
from the MVR enters the triple effect evaporator,
effectively doubling the output of the existing
triple effect evaporator with a minimal increase
CASE STUDY
INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
40
in energy. As the tomatoes spend less time in
the evaporator, the colour and taste of the final
product is improved.
“Our priority is to reduce our energy
consumption and get the same or increased
output. This will allow us to become more
globally competitive even if the exchange rate
remains high,” Mr Whitford says. “We’re
constantly asking ourselves: how can we operate
as efficiently as possible, and how can we
compete on a global basis.”
Further, by boosting its production capacity,
Kagome can help farmers take greater
advantage of good seasons by buying more of
their produce. The company is a major supporter
of regional employment and contributes $30
million each year to local growers and
businesses.
The company expects to save $560,000 in
annual energy costs from the MVR project, and
reduce site-wide carbon emissions intensity by
20 per cent.
Kagome has received another three grants -
$75,451 to fit economizers and variable speed
drives to two boilers; $27,189 to upgrade existing
lighting with modern LED lights; and $374,950 to
replace two old steam peelers with a modern
energy efficient one.
With initiatives funded by the $1,784,271 MVR
grant, Kagome Foods Australia expects to:
⢠reduce site-wide carbon emissions intensity
by more than 20 per cent
⢠save $444,000 in energy costs per year
⢠double its production capacity
A $75,451 grant to fit economizers and variable
speed drives is expected to:
⢠reduce site-wide carbon emissions by
9 per cent
⢠save $120,000 in energy costs per year
A $27,189 grant to upgrade lighting is expected
to:
⢠reduce carbon emissions from lighting by
69 per cent
⢠save $11,000 in energy costs per year
A $374,950 grant to replace two old steam
peelers is expected to:
⢠reduce the carbon emissions intensity of the
steam peeler process by 32 per cent
⢠save $31,000 in energy costs per year.

INNOVATION INVESTMENT FUND
46
INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
Innovation Investment Fund
ESTABLISHMENT The Innovation Investment Fund (IIF) programme
was established in 1997 to promote the
development of an Australian venture capital
market. The Australian Government co invests
with private sector investors in IIF funds to
invest in promising early stage, technology-based companies commercialising Australian
research. By demonstrating the returns
achievable from investing in such investee
companies, the IIF programme aims to
encourage private sector investors to take a
more active role supporting Australian
innovation.
There have been three rounds of the IIF
programme. Five funds were established in 1998
under Round 1, four funds in 2001 under Round 2
and eight funds were established under Round 3.
The Australian Government committed
$220.7 million for Rounds 1 and 2, with private
sector investors bringing total funding for the
two rounds to $354 million. The Australian
Government committed $180 million for Round 3
of the IIF programme, which was matched by a
total of $190 million from private investors.
All profits returned to the Australian
Government from the IIF are returned to the
IIF Revolving Fund. The Revolving Fund was
initially established on 15 March 2000 as a
mechanism to reinvest distributions from a
select group of fund managers. As a result of a
2012 Government decision all IIF programme
returns became eligible for crediting the
Revolving Fund. In May 2014 the balance of the
Revolving Fund was appropriated to
consolidated revenue as a savings measure for
the 2014-15 Budget.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the IIF programme Round 3 are:
⢠to develop fund managers with experience in
the early stage venture capital industry;
⢠by addressing capital and management
constraints, to encourage the development of
new companies which are commercialising
research and development;
⢠in the medium term a “revolving” or self-funding scheme; and
⢠to develop a self-sustaining Australian early
stage, venture capital market.

has received $157.02 million.
One Round 1 fund continues with its one
remaining investee and another fund is
terminated and under the management of a
trustee. All IIF Round 2 funds have wound up.
AusIndustry commissions independent wind-up
compliance audits for all terminating funds.
OUTCOMES The IIF programme has contributed to the
commercialisation of Australian R&D, with
investee companies bringing new products,
services and processes to both the Australian
and international markets. The program has also
supported the growth of competitive firms.
Since the inception of the programme, outcomes
achieved include:
⢠private capital of $323.30 million has been
raised;
⢠138 individual investee companies have
received investment; and
⢠110 professional venture capital managers
have been engaged during the life of the
programme.
During 2013-14, two investee companies were
fully divested.
Investee case studies are provided in the
publication Innovation, Investment and Venture
Capital and can be viewed at http://www.
business.gov.au/grants-and-assistance/venture-capital/InvestmentInnovationVentureCapital/
Pages/default.aspx
Nine of the seventeen IIF fund managers have
raised other venture capital or private equity
funds, contributing to the development of the
venture capital industry in Australia. Generally,
these funds invest in a broader range of
investments than their IIF funds.
SUPPORT PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS Investee companies eligible for investment by IIF
fund managers must, amongst other things:
⢠be commercialising Australian research and
development;
⢠have a majority of its employees (by number)
and assets (by value) inside Australia at the
time the licensed fund first invests in the
company; and
⢠have an annual revenue over the past two
years of income that does not exceed
$5 million per year.
Investee companies supported must also be at
the seed, start-up or early expansion stage of
their development.
GOVERNANCE Innovation Australia oversees the operation of
the IIF programme, assisted by AusIndustry. For
IIF Rounds 1 and 2 and the PSF and REEF
programs, the Australian Government
established five wholly-owned companies (IIF
Companies) which operate under the legislative
framework set by the Corporations Act 2001 and
the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies
Act 1997 (CAC Act).
To achieve compliance with the Uhrig Review
principles, Round 3 of the IIF programme is now
administered by the Department. As a result the
Australian Government has invested directly
into the licensed funds. This direct investment
approach was also adopted for the Innovation
Investment Follow-on Fund programme.
Only one of the original five IIF companies
(IIF Investments Pty Ltd) remains and its
operational details are described in a separate
annual report, the IIF Investments Pty Ltd Annual
Report 2013-14.

investment plan with committed capital of at
least $10 million and not more than $100 million.
ESVCLP is an investment vehicle providing flow-through tax treatment for investors and a
complete tax exemption for income (both
revenue and capital) received by its domestic
and foreign partners. The ESVCLP programme is
a replacement to the Pooled Development Funds
(PDF) programme. Existing registered PDFs
continue to operate and are entitled to
concessional tax treatment as provided for
under the Pooled Development Funds Act 1992.
OBJECTIVES The ESVCLP programme is designed to stimulate
the Australian venture capital sector and
investment into early stage companies. This is
achieved by:
⢠increasing the pool of capital available for
investment (from both domestic and foreign
sources) in the Australian venture capital
sector through providing a tax exemption to
investors; and
⢠encouraging investment in startup
enterprises with a view to commercialisation
of activity and company growth.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE As at 30 June 2014 there were 15 (including seven
conditionally registered) ESVCLPs registered. Of
the $324 million committed to registered
ESVCLPs, $160 million is from funds also licensed
under the IIF programme (Australian
Government and private investor co-investment
funds).
Since the programme’s inception in 2007,
$85.3 million has been invested by ESVCLPs in
74 eligible Australian businesses including
$37 million in 51 businesses during 2013-14.
SUPPORT PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS The ESVCLP programme uses the incorporated
limited partnership structure and offers a
complete tax exemption to both domestic and
foreign investors on returns made from early
stage venture capital investments.

GOVERNANCE The ESVCLP programme is jointly administered
by Innovation Australia, supported by
AusIndustry and the ATO. ESVCLPs are required
to operate in accordance with the Venture
Capital Act 2002 (VC Act) and the relevant
Income Tax Assessment Acts.
AusIndustry is responsible for registration and
monitors compliance. The ATO provides the
taxation concession for partners registered
under the programme. Both AusIndustry and the
ATO review ESVCLP activity reports for
compliance.

Venture Capital Limited Partnerships
ESTABLISHMENT The Venture Capital Limited Partnerships (VCLP)
programme was established in December 2002
under the Venture Capital Act 2002 and
amendments to the Income Tax Assessment Act
1997 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
Fund managers seeking to raise venture capital
to make investments in Australian businesses
with total assets up to $250 million can apply to
register the fund as a VCLP.
In order to be registered as a VCLP the fund is
required to meet a number of registration
requirements outlined in the VC Act. Amongst
these requirements a fund must have an
appropriate investment plan and be structured
as an incorporated limited partnership with
committed capital of at least $10 million. VCLP
registration entitles a fund to flow-through tax
treatment (the fund is not a taxing point).
Further, a fund’s eligible foreign investors receive
a capital gains tax exemption for their share of
the fund’s gains from eligible investments. The
fund’s other investors have their share of the
fund’s gains taxed in their hands.
VCLPs can only make eligible investments as
defined by the VC Act and the relevant Income
Tax Assessment Acts. Broadly these are equity
investments in companies or unit trusts with
total assets of not more than $250 million that
do not have property development or financial
services as their predominant activity.
The VC Act also provides for two other types of
registration:
⢠Australian Venture Capital Fund of Funds:
for an Australian resident general partner,
registration is available for a specific limited
partnership investment vehicle as an
Australian Venture Capital Fund of Funds in
accordance with Section 9-5 of the VC Act.
Such funds can only make investments in a
VCLP or an ESVCLP or invest in a company in
which a VCLP or and ESVCLP is a limited
partner. To date, one Australian Venture Capital
Fund of Funds has been registered.
⢠Eligible Venture Capital Investor: for tax-exempt foreign residents, registration is
available as an Eligible Venture Capital Investor
in accordance with Part 3 of the VC Act.
Registration allows the entity to make direct
investments and disregard any gain made on
disposal of an eligible venture capital
investment. To date, one Eligible Venture
Capital Investor has been registered.
OBJECTIVES The VCLP programme is designed to stimulate
the Australian venture capital industry by
providing incentives for increased foreign
investment which will support patient equity
capital investments in relatively high-risk
startup and growth businesses which would
otherwise have difficulty in attracting
investment through normal commercial means.

INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE As at 30 June 2014, there were 43 registered
VCLPs (including four conditionally registered)
with approximately $5.4 billion in committed
capital, of which approximately 41 per cent is
sourced from overseas investors.
Since the programme’s inception, $2.8 billion has
been invested by VCLPs in eligible Australian
businesses, including $251 million invested in
61 businesses during 2013-14.
OUTCOMES In 2013-14, VCLPs made 99 deals with
$251 million invested in 61 businesses. Twenty-six
deals were initial investments and 73 were
follow-on investments. The number of deals
decreased slightly compared to the previous
year’s total of 131. However, the amount invested
during the year increased on the $218 million
recorded in the previous year.
DIVESTMENTS Sixteen VCLPs reported 20 divestments during
2013-14, realising $670 million from investments
that cost $171 million for a capital gain of
$499 million. This is an increase compared to the
previous year where 21 divestments were
reported with a capital gain of $189 million.
SUPPORT PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS A VCLP receives flow-through tax treatment -
that is, the fund is not a taxing point. Eligible
foreign investors in a VCLP are exempt from
income tax on profits or gains derived from the
sale of eligible investments by the VCLP. For
other investors their share of the VCLP gains is
taxed in their hands. The general partner of a
VCLP has its share of the gains made by the VCLP
on the sale of eligible investments (the carried
interest) taxed as a capital gain.
GOVERNANCE The VCLP programme is jointly administered by
Innovation Australia, supported by AusIndustry
and the ATO. VCLPs are required to operate in
accordance with the VC Act and the relevant
Income Tax Assessment Acts.
AusIndustry is responsible for registration
purposes and monitors compliance. The ATO
provides the tax concession for partners
registered under the programme. AusIndustry
and the ATO review VCLP activity reports for
compliance.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
Commercial Ready
OBJECTIVES The Commercial Ready programme was
announced in May 2004 as part of the
Australian Government’s Backing Australia’s
Ability - Building Our Future through Science and
Innovation package.
In May 2007, the Australian Government
announced Commercial Ready Plus, a funding
stream specifically intended to provide small
grants, between $50,000 and $250,000 to small
and emerging spin off companies.
The programme closed to new applications as a
result of the Australian Government’s 2008
Budget announcement.
The objectives of the Commercial Ready
programme were to:
⢠support the international competitiveness of
Australian industry by encouraging innovation
through increasing the level of research and
development, proof-of-concept and early
stage commercialisation activities undertaken
by Australian companies; and
⢠generate national benefit for the Australian
economy and wider community, including for
example, through increasing productivity,
supporting collaboration and developing
Australia’s skills base.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES Commercial Ready offered grants on a matching

development of a carbon fibre wheel and
building lighter car components.
For example, Hirotec Australia Pty Ltd received a
$1.67 million grant to introduce and refine
technologies for manufacturing lighter
automotive components, in particular
aluminium alloy hood and deck lids. The light-weight materials have resulted in overall vehicle
weight reduction with corresponding reductions
in greenhouse gas emissions.
AusIndustry will continue to work with the
remaining two grant recipients with active
projects during 2014-15 and ensure all post
project reporting obligations are met.
INNOVATION INVESTMENT FOLLOW-ON FUND
59
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
Innovation Investment Follow-on Fund
OBJECTIVES On 18 March 2009, the Australian Government
announced the Innovation Investment Follow-on
Fund (IIFF) programme to provide funding to
selected early stage startup companies.
The IIFF programme is a temporary and targeted
programme in response to the impact of the
global financial crisis on the availability of
venture capital funding to early stage
companies commercialising Australian research.
The $64 million fund enabled selected
companies with high potential to continue to
develop and commercialise research.
The IIFF programme operated for three years
with the possibility of extension for an
additional two years for the orderly divestment
of the investment portfolio. No investments
were allowed during this two year period.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE During 2013-14, $0.08 million was drawn down
for IIFF managers’ recoverable expenses. No
investments were made during the year as these
funds can no longer call capital for investment.
To date the total IIFF programme funding is
$61.47 million (including $61.07 million in
investments and $0.40 million in recoverable
expenses).
OUTCOMES Returns for 2013-14 were $4.49 million, all of
which was returned to the IIF Revolving Fund. As
at 30 June 2014, a total of $28.52 million had
been returned, of which the Australian
Government share was $27.33 million. Five of the
eleven IIFF funds have wound up; the other six
funds were extended to August 2014 (the
maximum allowable under the programme).
Three of these have executed put options to
allow the windup of the funds and the orderly
disposal of their remaining IIFF assets beyond
August 2014. The remaining three funds are
winding up.
POOLED DEVELOPMENT FUNDS

INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
Pooled Development Funds
OBJECTIVES The Pooled Development Funds (PDF) programme
was aimed at stimulating Australia’s venture
capital sector and increasing the pool of venture
capital available to fund the growth of small and
medium sized Australian companies.
The PDF programme commenced on 30 June 1992
and operates subject to the Pooled Development
Funds Act 1992, the Pooled Development Funds
Regulations 1992, and both the Income Tax
Assessment Act 1936 and 1997, and the Income
Tax Rates Act 1986. The PDF programme was
closed to new registrations on 21 June 2007 at
the time that the Government announced the
establishment of the ESVCLP programme.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE Since the PDF programme began in 1992 over
$1.18 billion in new capital has been raised. Of
this, over $965 million has been invested in
712 eligible Australian businesses.
As at 30 June 2014, there remained 27 PDFs
registered under the programme.
OUTCOMES PDFs provide annual returns four months after
the preceding financial year (i.e. by 31 October).
The following outcomes are taken from PDF
reports which only relate to performance up to
2012-13. The 2013-14 PDF performance will be
assessed after all of the PDF annual returns have
been received in November 2014.
During 2012-13, PDFs reported investments of
$4.1 million which included 3 initial investments.
There were 28 full and partial divestments which
realised a total of $22.3 million. PDFs also reported
a total portfolio value of over $71.5 million at
30 June 2013.
PRE-SEED FUND
61
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
Pre-Seed Fund
OBJECTIVES The Pre-Seed Fund (PSF) programme was
introduced in 2001 to increase the
commercialisation of promising research
opportunities within Australian universities,
Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) and
Australian public sector research agencies.
The PSF programme is a $104.11 million
programme with $72.70 million of equity
co-investment capital from the Australian
Government and $31.41 million from private
investors.
As at 30 June 2014, PSF funds have drawn
$99.47 million of which the Australian
Government contribution is $69.47 million.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE Of the four funds established under the
programme, one fund manager has wound up
while the three remaining fund managers have
exercised the option to extend their funds for up
to a further three years to 2015 for the orderly
realisation of assets and wind-up.
In 2013-14, $0.05 million was invested into one
company, of which $0.04 million was drawn
from the Australian Government.
At 30 June 2014 the total returned to the
Australian Government was $1.15 million.
OUTCOMES Since the inception of the programme, outcomes
achieved include:
⢠$31.41 million of private capital was raised for
early stage commercialisation;
⢠71 projects and companies have received

INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
Renewable Energy Development Initiative
OBJECTIVES The Renewable Energy Development Initiative
(REDI) was announced on 15 June 2004 as part of
the Australian Government’s white paper,
Securing Australia’s Energy Future - Renewable
Energy Development Initiative. The programme
offered grants from $50,000 to $5 million on a
matching funds basis.
REDI closed to new applications in May 2008 as
a result of the Australian Government’s 2008

The objectives of the REDI programme were to:
⢠support the development of new renewable
energy technology products, processes and
services that had strong early stage
commercialisation and emission reduction
potential;
⢠support the international competitiveness of
Australian industry by encouraging innovation
through increasing the level of research and
development activities, proof-of-concept and/
or early stage commercialisation activities
undertaken by Australian companies; and
⢠generate national benefits for the Australian
economy and wider community, including for
example, through increasing productivity,
supporting collaboration and developing
Australia’s skills base.
PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES REDI provided financial assistance to 29 projects,
totalling $65.83 million. Successful projects were
representative across the renewable energy
sector: including bio-energy (31 per cent of
supported projects) and solar (27 per cent of
supported projects). Sixty-seven per cent of
projects were considered to have had successful
outcomes. All REDI customers have completed
their projects.
AusIndustry will continue to work with REDI

66
INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
Innovation Australia Board
Innovation Australia is an independent statutory
body established to assist with the
administration of the Australian Government’s
industry research and development, and venture
capital programmes. Through these initiatives,
Innovation Australia seeks to increase and
support the level of investment and technology
based activity in Australian industry and to
improve the commercial success of businesses in
Australia.
Established on 27 September 2007, Innovation
Australia is an amalgamation of the former
Industry Research and Development (IR&D)
Board originally established in 1986 and the
Venture Capital Registration (VCR) Board
(formerly known as the Pooled Development
Funds Registration Board). On its establishment,
Innovation Australia assumed the roles,
responsibilities and powers of the two former
Boards and, as such, it carries responsibility for
past decisions taken by the former Boards.
In 2013-14 Innovation Australia reported to the
Minister for Industry.
LEGISLATION Innovation Australia operates under the
auspices of the Industry Research and
Development Act 1986 (IR&D Act). The aim of the
IR&D Act is to promote the development, and
improve the efficiency and international
competitiveness, of Australian industry by
encouraging research and development,
innovation and venture capital activities.
The IR&D Act was amended in September 2007
by the Tax Laws Amendment (2007 Measures
No.5) Act 2007, which established Innovation
Australia and thereby consolidated the
administration and oversight of the
government’s innovation and venture capital
programmes as prescribed in the IR&D Act, the
Pooled Development Funds Act 1992 (PDF Act)
and the Venture Capital Act 2002 (VC Act).
Innovation Australia also advises government on
income tax law (Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) as they
operate in relation to those Acts.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF INNOVATION AUSTRALIA UNDER THE INDUSTRY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACT 1986 Amendments were made to the IR&D Act with
effect from 11 September 2004 to remove
ambiguity between the Financial Management
and Accountability Act 1997 and the IR&D Act.
The amendments removed prospectively the
powers of Innovation Australia to commit,
approve or recommend expenditure of
Australian Government funds and further
safeguarded members from any personal
liability stemming from Innovation Australia
membership.
Innovation Australia therefore retains
financial responsibilities for all grant, loan and
licence agreements which were in place at
10 September 2004. This approach, while
avoiding the need to amend existing
programme documentation (including
agreements), has nonetheless complicated
Innovation Australia’s working environment
requiring two operational models until all
existing agreements are concluded. In the case
of the now closed R&D Start programme,
contractual obligations may run until 2014-15.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST
Innovation Australia Disclosure
of Interest (DOI) Guidelines
Innovation Australia (the Board) observes
statutory requirements and generally applicable
standards concerning the management,
handling and recording of relevant interests.
Accordingly, the Board addresses indirect and
direct pecuniary interests as the IR&D Act
requires but also extends the scope of these
guidelines to cover other personal or family
interests.
The Board is conscious that perceptions of
conflict of interest may be as important as
actual conflict. The following describes the
procedures, based on the Code of Conduct
adopted by the Board, that are to be followed.
Section 16 of the IR&D Act requires Board
members to disclose at a meeting of the Board
the nature of any direct or indirect pecuniary
interest in matters considered or about to be
considered by the Board. The IR&D Act requires
such disclosures to be recorded in minutes of
meetings. This process also applies to members
of the Board’s committees (section 24).
The Board has also adopted a process whereby
Board and committee members (upon
appointment) prepare and lodge with the
Secretariat a disclosure statement of known
pecuniary (and other personal) interests of
themselves and of their immediate family/
spouse. The contents of the statement are
recorded, electronically, on the Register of Private
Interests.
In addition, the Board has established formal
procedures for the handling of matters involving
actual or potential conflicts of interest, which it
requires all Board and committee members to
meet. These are set out below.
A member who has issues or concerns about
potential conflict of interest matters may wish,
prior to a relevant meeting, to discuss them with
the departmental officer who is nominated to
assist the Board in these respects.
To assist in maintaining a close focus on conflict
of interest issues, an early agenda item at each
Board and committee meeting should involve
formal enquiry in relation to the disclosed
interests of members and the determination of
any potential conflicts.
Disclosure of Member Interests
Where a Board or committee member is aware
of an actual or potential conflict of interest,
pecuniary or otherwise, the member must
advise the meeting prior to that item being
discussed. Where the interests of a member or
his/her immediate family are involved, the
member should disclose those interests, to the
extent they are known to them. The member
must then leave the room and this must be
recorded in the minutes.
Members are required to refrain from discussing
any aspects of applications with customers
unless the application has been prepared by
colleagues and the member has previously
disclosed their interest to the Board.
The Board or committee has an ability to decide,
in the absence of the member, that where a
conflict situation exists, the member concerned
may nonetheless be present during discussion
of the matter (and take part in the discussion) or
even take part in the decision making. The
decision on this could turn on whether the
nature of the interest is determined to be
material or immaterial (insignificant).
GOVERNANCE
72
INNOVATION AUSTRALIA
If the nature of the member’s disclosed interest
is judged as immaterial, the member may be
invited back into the meeting to take part in the
discussions and, if appropriate, the decision-making. If the nature of the member’s disclosed
interest is judged as material, there should be no
further involvement of the member.
An occasion may arise where a member having a
material conflict has some technical knowledge,
not available elsewhere, that could warrant an
invitation back into the room simply to answer
specific pre-determined question(s) in relation to
the technology this would be an exceptional
circumstance. Upon providing comments to the
questions, the member would again leave the
room and take no part in the discussion or
decision-making in relation to the item.
Recording a Disclosure of Interest
The Secretariat should endeavour to determine,
with respect to a forthcoming meeting, whether
any members are likely to disclose an interest
about any matters on the draft agenda. To assist
in this process, the Secretariat will provide a copy
of the meeting agenda, along with appropriate
further identification, to all members prior to
the distribution of papers. Members would be
requested to advise if they are likely to disclose
an interest in relation to any of the items listed
for consideration, and to disclose the nature of
that interest. Papers relating to individual
applications will not be forwarded to members
until the Secretariat receives advice that they are
unlikely to disclose an interest in relation to the
items listed for consideration.
Where a member’s disclosure is subsequently
determined to be of a material nature, then that
member will not receive reports or information
in relation to the item under consideration.
The minutes of the meeting will record: the
member disclosing the interest; the nature of
the interest; if it is judged material or immaterial
by the Board or committee; and the departure of
the member from the room.
Discussions regarding an item against which a
member has disclosed an interest will be deleted
from the member’s copy of the minutes, unless
the Board or committee has decided that the
nature of the interest is immaterial and that the
member should be present during relevant
discussion and decision making.
Matters which shall be referred to
the board for determination
If a committee has no quorum as a consequence
of conflicts of interest of members, then the
matter shall be referred to the Board for
determination.
Where the committee agrees that, because of
conflict of interest issues, the matter is of a
particularly sensitive nature, that matter shall be
referred to the Board for determination.
Independent Expert Assessments
Where a material conflict of interest arises as a
consequence of a direct link between a Board or
Committee member and a matter being
considered (i.e., specifically where a member
holds an operational management role in an
applicant company, or is or has been a
consultant to an applicant company, or is a
member of the board of an applicant company),
then that matter shall be referred to the Board
for consideration. In such instances, an
independent expert assessment of the matter
will be undertaken to provide advice with regard
to the technical aspects of the project.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
Requests from applicant companies
for limited distribution of papers
In general, a request from an applicant company
that a certain member not see the papers
relating to that particular application is to be
accepted, provided that the Board or committee
considers that the request is reasonable.
Determining if a conflict exists 10
When considering whether a material conflict of
interest exists members should have regard to
the following questions:
a. would the average member of the public, of
ordinary intelligence, looking at the relevant
facts and circumstances, think that there
was a real, sensible possibility of conflict?
b. with human nature being what it is, is there a
danger that an average member of the public,
of ordinary intelligence, may be swayed by this
kind of personal interest rather than by duty?
In August 2010, the Board reviewed its Disclosure
of Interest Guidelines and determined that these
were robust and sound.
Partners in Delivery
AusIndustry, the principal programme delivery
division of the Department of Industry, provides
primary support to Innovation Australia.
This support is provided by AusIndustry staff in
the national, state, territory and regional offices
includes the AusIndustry Secretariat as well as

Innovation Australia is also supported by policy
areas within the Department’s Industry and
Innovation and Manufacturing Divisions.
Responsibility for policy aspects of Innovation
Australia’s programmes resides with the
Department’s Innovation and Manufacturing
Divisions.
AusIndustry (on behalf of Innovation Australia)
and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) jointly
administer the R&D Tax Incentive and the R&D
Tax Concession. AusIndustry manages the
registration of research and development
activities and conducts compliance reviews
related to the eligibility of these activities. The
