Projects that received funding focussed on providing resources to researchers in fields that were identified as essential to establishing a strong, innovative system.  The approved initiatives were varying and included partnerships between national and international corporations in education, industry and government.

The projects were required to meet strict criteria and underwent peer review in order to receive funding.  Those that were endorsed by the government will commence in January 2010 and included a legislative database, a facility for mid-infrared photonic materials, and analytical tools to strengthen clean energy research.
