ICT research and development organisations

Research and development (R&D) is a valuable tool for growing and improving your business. It's important to find the right match for your business's R&D needs.

Contact and collaborate with the following ICT R&D organisations to support your R&D initiatives and build relationships.

• Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC²T)
  CQC²T is an international research effort to develop the science and technology of a global quantum computing information network, encompassing ultra-fast quantum computation, absolutely secure quantum communication and distributed quantum information processing. CQC²T researchers can advise on the technical specifications and uptake of current quantum secure communication networks and ongoing research to improve those networks. They can also advise on the state-of-the-art of quantum computation and the prospects for near-term and long-term applications.
• Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC)
  AEHRC is the leading national research facility applying information and communication technology to improve health services and clinical treatment for Australians.
  • CSIRO ICT Centre
    The ICT Centre delivers its R&D solutions through capability-based research laboratories. From smartphone apps and robotics, to wearable technology and next gen wireless, CSIRO is providing innovative information technology solutions that are helping to secure Australia's digital future.
• Data61
  Data61 has been formed from a partnership between CSIRO and National ICT Australia (NICTA). With more than 1,100 staff, including 400+ resident PhD students, they are one of Australia's leading digital research powerhouses.
