ANU’s Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre

Organisational Profile

The Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) within the Australian National University (ANU). RSAA operates a world-class observatory and has a long history of research and technical activity at the forefront of astronomy and astrophysics.

Service Provided

The RSAA aims to commercialise products and services from their Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre, a world-class facility for developing and testing astronomical instruments, satellites and space payloads. To help RSAA achieve this, gemaker provided a comprehensive report on market research findings, a detailed business plan to achieve market-readiness and facilitated commercialisation and planning workshops for senior staff.

Unlike competitors, gemaker understands the university sector and academics. The gemaker team applied a practical approach with excellent communication to develop our Research School’s strategic business plan – a very positive experience.
