Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia

The Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) is investing $75m of Commonwealth funds over ten years to support industry-led research collaborations. The funding will develop new technologies, products and services which address industry issues in Northern Australia.

The CRCNA brings together industry, universities and other research bodies, SMEs, regional development organisations, all northern jurisdictions and international partners in a collaborative industry-led research and development venture to assist businesses, governments and researchers identify opportunities for business and growth in the north.

The CRCNA acknowledges and pays respects to the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia on which our project participants, research stakeholders and members live and work, and to their Elders past, present and future.  The CRCNA pays respect to the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the CRCNA's head office stands.
