Clean Energy Innovation Centre

Newcastle Innovation has been successful in its bid to host the Enterprise Connect Clean Energy Innovation Centre (CEIC).

The CEIC is part of a suite of programs under Enterprise Connect - Innovation Centres and offers a range of business improvement services to help clean energy companies find and adapt the latest research and technology to improve products and manufacturing processes. It provides access to specialist facilities and advice at the University of Newcastle to turn innovative ideas into new products, test products for new markets, help firms become export-ready and provide grants to address areas of weakness.

The CEIC is a partnership between Newcastle Innovation, Enterprise Connect, the Australian Institute for Commercialisation (AIC) and the Western Australia Sustainable Energy Association (WASEA). The centre was launched in April 2009.
