Delivery of the Commercialisation Ready Program

The Commercialisation Ready Program offers training in commercialisation skills and business development to existing and start-up business managers and employees to increase the commercial success of innovative products, processes and services, and enable them to expand their business into the national and global market. The successful tenderer will be contracted to provide and deliver program content over four rounds of the Program to a total of 60 to 80 Tasmanian Small Medium Enterprise (SME) businesses. Each round of the program will include at least one revision day and a graduation day delivered over a maximum of a three month period. Assessment of participants' work and coaching of promising clients are integral components of the program. At the Department's discretion, the Program rounds may be held in Hobart, Devonport or Launceston between May 2004 and June 2005 (a minium of two rounds will be held in Hobart).
