Kin8 assists companies, start-ups and universities in Australia and around the world to enhance industry competitiveness and unlock the tremendous innovation and technology of universities and research organisations.
“It is an exciting outcome for kin8 to partner with IPI in Singapore. Kin8’s core focus is research and technology translation for better economic and social outcomes for all.
