Cash and in-kind contributions
Benefits and opportunities
These partners will interact and work with the CRC in a collaborative and strategic way. They may include SMEs and project-focussed contributors that may provide cash or valuable in-kind directly to specific programs, projects or CRC initiatives or commission to the CRC to perform contract research activities.
These partners may also include industry bodies, advocacy groups, or not-for-profit entities whose membership may benefit from the emergence and adoption of new NZE-Ag CRC technologies. The CRC intends to engage with these groups though an annual conference program and draw on their specialist expertise in specific projects.
These partners may, in some cases, be signatories to Project Agreements, and may be eligible for R&D tax concessions (subject to professional financial advice).
