The development of resources to help startups navigate regulatory issues is motivated by a pressing need for science-based startups to understand the regulatory space (and regulators to understand the science-based startup space). This page collates ideas from respondents for new resources that might generate interest from MacDiarmid Institute founders and help shape future projects.

This resource is designed to complement and build upon the existing commercialisation ecosystem at the MacDiarmid Institute. It brings together real-world examples of regulation-related challenges faced by local startups, emphasising to MacDiarmid Institute researchers the importance of regulatory planning when scaling up from the lab to the market.
