This Western Australian Government grant program is designed to assist innovators to overcome barriers to commercialisation. 

First launched in 2011, the IBG is part of the WA Government's $16.7 million New Industries Fund to attract investment and promote the economic diversification of WA. Since the grant began, 233 grants have been awarded, valued at about $3.7 million.
