The commercialization of scientific and technological research results is an indispensable activity of Australia"s research institutes and universities, in order to create an impact on sustainable socio-economic development, an indicator of competence of universities and institutes. It serves as a basis for considering the priority of state resources investment. Promoting technology commercialization is a difficult and complex task. Therefore to implement smoothly and effectively, the state needs to build an innovation ecosystem with strong support from the Government through appropriate and open mechanisms and policies, especially financial policies.
