The Multiplier Program is an industry engagement program established by ATP Innovations to connect Industry with innovative advanced technology Startups and Researchers.

The program enables invited industry participants to tap into ATPi's curated community and explore how up-and-coming start-ups and research initiatives can make a difference to their companies and the synergies that can be exploited for mutual benefit.

The aim of the Multiplier Program is to increase the quantity and quality of collaboration between Industry, Research and Start-ups, utilising the world-class research that comes out of our institutions to help shape our futures industries and generate economic prosperity.

The Format
 
MLA has been invited to a session outlining areas of interest for innovative solutions followed by individual meetings with a selected shortlist of founders and researchers. This will be based on (but not restricted to) MLAs briefing (comprising this document along with MISP and AIP).
