UNSW has retained its status as the regions leading start-up university,the most recentSurvey of Commercialisation Outcomes from Public Research (SCOPR) Summary Report reveals. <\/p>\n
UNSW recorded 12 spinout companies in 2022, in fields ranging from artificial intelligence, quantum computing, clean energy and sustainable packagingthrough to medical treatments for chronic pain and tools to diagnose autism spectrum disorder. <\/p>\n
Dr Dax Kukulj, UNSW Acting Director of Business Development & Commercialisation, said the ranking recognisedUNSWs leadership in innovation. <\/p>\n
UNSW continues to be a trailblazer in higher education, with incredibly strong results being generated by its Staff Spinout Framework, UNSW Industry & Innovation team and entrepreneurship initiative UNSW Founders. <\/p>\n
The UNSW innovation ecosystem is driving research, entrepreneurship and innovation with local and global impact. <\/p>\n
Computing company Diraq, founded by CEO Professor Andrew Dzurak, aims to redefine scalable quantum computing and deliver the true potential and transformative power of quantum computing applications to the world via billions of qubits on a single chip. <\/p>\n
Diraq is rapidly positioning itself as a leading player in the field of quantum computing, distinguishing itself as a full-stack company that covers all aspects of the stack, from hardwareto software. <\/p>\n
One of Diraqs key strengths lies in its innovative hardware,constructed using a novel technology known as spins in silicon,invented by Prof. Dzurak during his tenure at UNSW. <\/p>\n
UNSW Canberra Space spinout Infinity Avionics had humble beginnings as a research project. Honoured as Australian Space Startup of the Year in 2023, it was recognised for its high-quality Earth observation data, which is becoming crucial for various industries and applications. <\/p>\n
Infinity Avionics was co-founded by UNSW alumnus Igor Dimitrijevic, now the companys CEO, and Damith Abeywardana, now Managing Director. <\/p>\n
Their precision-engineered space products include optical, thermal and radiation sensors designed for space asset monitoring, space robotics and space-based manufacturing. <\/p>\n
Infinity Avionics also produces high-resolution cameras that capture images of the Earth's surface for environmental monitoring, disaster response, and urban planning. <\/p>\n
The University ranked as the top Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) university for new patent family applications with 47,rankingsecond overalljust behind CSIRO with 51 patents. <\/p>\n
Dr Kukulj said the result underscoredthe strength of research and innovation at the University. UNSW has recorded a significant milestone by coming in at number one for patent applications by the University sector, and number two across the ANZ region. <\/p>\n
The patents are in a range of sectors covering clean energy, photovoltaics, materials science, medical devices and biotech. <\/p>\n
The SCOPR report shows that 422 patented technologies were recorded last year and 281 non-patented technologies. UNSW is punching above its weight with 47 patents recorded. <\/p>\n
Spinouts established in 2022 include: <\/p>\n
