Light Up Innovation I R&D Tax Incentive Readiness for FY26 and Beyond

Billions of dollars in R&D funding are ready for the taking: How soon can you claim back part of your investment in innovation?

With FY26 R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) submissions opening on 1 July, now is the time to start preparing. This event will guide you on the documentation you need to organise, while also exploring ways to fund your innovation, not only for FY26 but also with a look ahead to FY27.

Join us for Light Up Innovation: A FundFindrs hosted evening of practical insights and expert guidance, set against the illuminated backdrop of Vivid Sydney.

FundFindrs is a specialist consultancy helping businesses unlock government funding through grants and the R&D Tax Incentive. We've secured over $5.6 million in FY25 claims for our clients and we are passionate about making the process simpler, faster and more strategic.

Kashcade helps innovative Australian companies access fast funding by offering advance payment against their R&D refund. Founders can apply in minutes and receive funding within 24-48 hours. With $100M deployed and 300 businesses supported - it’s the smart way to keep building and scaling without giving away additional equity.
