Technology translation squad

Empowering businesses with rapid electrical engineering solutions

The Technology Translation Squad (TTS) is a TRaCE initiative that provides rapid, specialist engineering support to organisations developing electrification and decarbonisation technologies. 

We help startups, SMEs, scale-ups and established organisations overcome complex technical challenges, accelerate technology development and progress innovations from concept through to deployment.

TTS provides access to industry-focused electrical engineering experts and university-level test and laboratory facilities to accelerate their technology. Eligible organisations can access:

  • Green ArrowA 1 – 3 hour free workshop designed to explore your challenges and identify potential paths forward.
  • Green ArrowBetween 1 – 5 days of free technical support to dive deeper into your technical barriers.
  • Green ArrowA co-funded engagement where we assist you in securing funding from TRaCE for a technical project with TTS. Other grant sources will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Green ArrowA paid engagement model for larger, more complex projects.

The TTS Objectives

Our approach is the first of its kind in Australia. It fundamentally revolutionises how Australian universities can deliver true impact through stronger and more agile connections with industry.

Increase meaningful engagement between organisations and universities through rapid, practical, and impact-driven engineering support.

Help organisations progress technologies through critical stages of development and move closer to commercial deployment.

Support the development of Australian technology, expertise, and manufacturing capability in strategically important sectors.

Help organisations overcome technical barriers, reduce risk, and make informed engineering decisions.

Provide access to specialist expertise that may not exist within an organisation’s internal team.

How we work

Our streamlined engagement process ensures technical challenges are assessed quickly, where organisations can access the most appropriate support pathway with minimal administrative burden.
