RESEARCH & DEFENCE PARTNERSHIPS

Metakosmos research collaboration under the CSIRO Kick-Start program
CSIRO Kick-Start

Metakosmos has worked with CSIRO through Kick-Start, Australia's national science agency program that pairs start-ups with CSIRO researchers and matched funding to advance early-stage R&D.

Defence Innovation Network pilot project on diver physiology monitoring
Defence Innovation Network Pilot Project

Metakosmos has contributed to Defence Innovation Network pilot research on diver physiology. The DIN is a NSW Government initiative connecting seven NSW universities with industry to turn defence concepts into demonstrated capability.

Metakosmos and UTS collaboration under the NSW Space Research Network
