Join the Biomedical AI Sprints Accelerator!

The Biomedical AI Sprints Accelerator (BASA) has been launched by Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub and MTPConnect in June 2024 to help high growth biomedical companies harness the power of data and artificial intelligence (AI).

BASA will offer $25K to $50K in matched funding and will upskill a selected number of high growth companies in the use of AI and data analytics, provide access to affordable data management infrastructure, and create a tech-ready workforce.

The opportunity is designed to directly address AI expertise gaps and drive understanding and business adoption of this transformative technology, leveraging advanced AI tools and expertise. Biomedical companies in Australia and those looking to expand internationally will benefit from customised AI solutions and gain the skills needed to manage and maintain advanced data and AI platforms.

  • The accelerator will provide companies with bespoke roadmaps guiding their adoption of data and AI management platforms, which can be expensive for small and medium businesses.
  • The accelerator will train participants and their staff in using next-generation technology, which will assist in staff retention and recruitment.
  • AI enables companies to access the powerful information contained within their data. Every business collects data, whether from operations, sales or customers. Unfortunately, many companies miss out on valuable intelligence because they do not have the ability to bring the data from its many sources into one platform. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized companies (93% of all Australian business) because they cannot afford to build and maintain internal data management infrastructure.
  • The accelerator will provide solutions to companies who want to collate their data to generate benefits.


EOIs must be submitted by 5:00pm AEST 30 July 2024.
