The Queensland Sustainable Energy Innovation Fund (QSEIF) assists Queensland organisations develop innovative technologies that reduce energy and water consumption.

The program focuses on the development and commercialisation of sustainable technologies. Since 1999, QSEIF has committed more than $9 million in funding to over 80 innovative energy and water saving projects in Queensland.

Some projects funded through the QSEIF program have proceeded to commence production, sales or licensing; raised substantial investment capital; exported around the world; and employed scientific, technical and other skilled staff.
