Applications for the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII) are now open
The Australian Government is providing funding for startups and SMEs to address regulatory challenges as part of the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII).
One challenge is being run through Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency (ASEA): Using technology for real-time and accurate asbestos testing.
It is calling for new and innovative technology solutions that can be used to accurately test building materials that contain asbestos on site.
The challenge is to overcome existing technical limitations and deliver a solution that is non‑destructive (i.e. not removing, drilling or disturbing materials to test) and meets regulatory requirements.
