Who we are

**The Future Fund invests on behalf of Standards Australia in businesses innovating to improve safety, efficiency and quality across the economy.**

Our strategic focus is to enable standards to play a central role in delivering best practice in innovation and the businesses driving it.

We look for brilliant ideas, teams and technologies, which operate in sectors where the adoption and use of standards is critical to success; and in businesses with ground-breaking technologies that can positively transform standards-based knowledge distribution and practical implementation.

We participate globally, in early-stage funding rounds, with strategic and patient capital

Funding Requirements

We invest in businesses that meet one of the following criteria:
• Ingesting and retailing standards materials
• Utilising materials derived from standards
• Supporting industries that need but don’t yet have standards
• Operating in innovative sectors that may require future standards
• Possessing unique technology or IP that enhances standards

We seek opportunities in areas such as:
• User experience
• Real-time information
• Compliance
• Continuous improvement
• Adoption and awareness of standards
• Performance metrics

Our preferred themes / technologies include:
• Safety: both physical and digital
• Risk Management and Best Practice Management
• Engineering: simplifying complexity
• Construction: Quality Assurance, Productivity, Education
• Green Tech: including Renewables, Hydrogen, EVs
• AgTech: focusing on optimisation, efficiency
• Interoperability, Quantum, IOT and Smart Cities, AI, Drone and Space, Asset Data Management and supportive businesses in Mining and Critical Minerals

While our Fund is stage-agnostic, it prefers post-revenue, profitable companies looking to grow.

Value add

Our fund has access to the catalogue and international network of Standards Australia, including ISO documents for the Australian territory. The Future Fund team have diverse backgrounds with deep experience in legal and BD and assist in guiding founders through challenging early stages
