The reusable research brief.

This is the prompt that built the atlas. It is tuned to stop a researcher returning a generic graveyard of expired startup grants, and to distinguish genuine non-dilutive support from marketing fluff. Copy it, run it in a capable research tool, verify the results at source, then fold new finds back into this same scored structure.

Conduct a comprehensive, current international search for funding, incentives, startup programs and relocation opportunities designed to attract foreign founders, ideas, technology ventures, social enterprises, creative projects and experimental research.

I am an Australian founder and multidisciplinary project creator based on North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah, Queensland. I may remain primarily based in Australia, establish an international entity, participate temporarily overseas, form a local partnership, license intellectual property, undertake a pilot project, or relocate for part of the year where the opportunity justifies it.

Search globally, including national governments, state and city governments, special economic zones, free zones, innovation districts, sovereign wealth funds, development agencies, universities, research institutes, startup accelerators, incubators, venture studios, foundations, international organisations and corporate innovation programs.

Use initiatives such as Start Qatar as one example of the kind of opportunity being sought, but do not limit the search to Qatar or the Middle East.

My current and emerging project areas include: extended reality, spatial computing and embodied AI; personal digital twins of the body and mind; human-centred AI assistants and cognitive architecture; privacy-preserving personal data systems; generative AI, blockchain and IoT integration; health, wellbeing, ageing, dementia support and preventative health; hyperbaric oxygen research and digitally measured self-development; civic technology, participatory democracy and transparent governance; local government innovation and community infrastructure; disaster resilience and community trust-building; smart communities, digital noticeboards and public information systems; decentralised municipal AI infrastructure and distributed computing; sustainable development and regenerative community systems; Indigenous, island and remote-community innovation where partnerships are invited and culturally appropriate; film, music, immersive storytelling, festivals and creative technology; museums, cultural archives and mixed-media preservation; sports, recreation, wellbeing and public-space activation; climate adaptation, environmental monitoring and island biosecurity; education, experimental universities, research labs and citizen science; nonprofit, social-enterprise and mission-driven international collaboration; and ambitious long-term initiatives aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Keep these selected projects distinct. Aura Genesis Protocol is a proposed process for harmonising and socialising a personal Aura with body and mind, using two hours of daily HBOT self-reflection over sixty days with one participant in the chamber. An Aura may also be created and developed independently. Search human-AI interaction, participant-led self-reflection, owner-held health data, research consent and human-factors research. Establish the scientific question, qualified lead, eligible host and actual ethics and operating requirements.

Aura Geode is the separate chamber and hardware platform, with conventional retrofit, geopolymer, crystalline or blended materials, and future integrated crystalline-compute pathways. Search chamber accessibility, assisted transfer, emergency egress, pressure-vessel engineering, sensor integration, materials characterisation and hardware prototyping. Keep engineering R&D, facilities and component testing separate from clinical claims, and check evidence, applicant, IP and co-funding requirements.

Straddie Disaster Kiosks is the public Minjerribah concept for rugged local-compute kiosks and everyday notice screens that could support community resilience. Wider Australian adaptation is an ambition, not an established rollout. Search disaster resilience, community resilience hubs, offline-first public information, edge AI, resilient communications, backup power, accessible noticeboards and community preparedness. Confirm pilot ownership, venue consent, official information sources, maintenance, privacy and applicant or auspice requirements.

Project Atlas and VFG Plan Access Lab are excluded from project coverage and funding searches. Other proposed portfolio additions remain unapproved. Listing a project in this atlas does not establish an applicant entity, legal registration or grant eligibility.

Look for: non-dilutive grants and challenge prizes; founder grants, living stipends and fellowships; startup visas, entrepreneur visas and residency pathways; free or subsidised company formation; tax holidays, R&D tax incentives and special economic-zone benefits; free or subsidised office, studio, laboratory or prototyping space; cloud computing, AI compute, software and technical-service credits; university research partnerships and funded research placements; paid pilot projects with governments, councils, hospitals, universities or corporations; accelerators that accept early-stage ideas, pre-revenue ventures or solo founders; programs supporting Australian or international applicants; funding for social enterprises, nonprofits, cooperatives or hybrid structures; creative-industry, music, film, immersive-media and cultural grants; climate, civic, health, Indigenous, island and remote-community innovation funding; programs offering introductions to investors, government customers or strategic partners; land, facilities, equipment or infrastructure incentives; founder-in-residence, entrepreneur-in-residence and artist-in-residence opportunities; competitions, hackathons and open innovation calls with meaningful prizes or pilots; programs that support multiple connected ventures or venture studios; and programs expected to open soon, recurring annual programs and expressions of interest.

Prioritise opportunities where: Australians are eligible; an overseas founder can apply before establishing a local entity; the program accepts concept-stage, prototype-stage or pre-revenue projects; a solo founder or small informal team can apply; intellectual property can remain primarily owned by the founder; relocation is optional, temporary or supported financially; the program offers substantial practical value rather than merely mentoring; applications are currently open, officially announced, recurring or likely to reopen; English-language applications are accepted; the program is compatible with unconventional, interdisciplinary or long-horizon ideas; the opportunity could support a pilot on Minjerribah, elsewhere in Australia, or in the host country; and there is potential to combine the program with Australian grants or international partnerships.

For every opportunity, provide: program name; country and city or region; official organisation; official source link; current application status; opening and closing dates using exact dates; whether the program is recurring; applicant eligibility; whether Australian citizens and entities can apply; whether local incorporation, residency or relocation is required; stage of development accepted; industries or themes supported; funding amount and currency; whether the funding is a grant, investment, loan, prize, reimbursement, tax incentive or in-kind support; equity requested if any; other benefits such as visas, housing, workspace, laboratory access, compute credits or introductions; intellectual-property conditions; matching-fund or co-investment requirements; key application documents; estimated application difficulty; which of my project areas it most closely matches; a concise explanation of why it may be relevant; any material risks, restrictions or hidden trade-offs; and a confidence rating based on the quality and currency of the official information.

Separate the results into: A. Applications currently open; B. Announced opportunities opening within the next twelve months; C. Strong recurring programs whose present round is closed; D. Startup relocation and foreign-founder attraction packages; E. Research, university and laboratory opportunities; F. Government and corporate paid-pilot opportunities; G. Social-impact, nonprofit and sustainable-development opportunities; H. Creative, cultural, music, film and immersive-media opportunities; I. Highly ambitious or unusual wildcard opportunities.

Rank the strongest opportunities using a weighted score: eligibility for an Australian founder 20%; non-dilutive financial value 15%; alignment with my projects 20%; openness to early-stage ideas 10%; practical infrastructure and partnership value 10%; founder-friendly intellectual-property terms 10%; low relocation or incorporation burden 5%; likelihood of a credible application 10%.

Begin with an executive shortlist of the 15 strongest opportunities. For each, recommend the best project or combination of projects to present, the most persuasive framing, and the next concrete application step. Then identify: the five easiest credible applications; the five largest potential funding opportunities; the five strongest relocation or international-expansion packages; the five best opportunities for Aura of Intelligence; the five best civic or community-technology opportunities; the five best health, longevity or dementia-related opportunities; the five best creative and immersive-media opportunities; the five best opportunities for G.A.J.R.A. Earth or a nonprofit structure; and any opportunities that could fund an on-island pilot or research facility on Minjerribah.

Search in English and, where useful, use translated local-language search terms. Verify important details from official program or government sources rather than relying solely on blogs, social media posts or funding databases. Exclude expired one-off programs unless they provide evidence of a likely future round. Clearly label anything uncertain, outdated or based on secondary reporting. Do not invent deadlines, eligibility or funding values.

Finish with a practical 90-day funding-search and application strategy that groups compatible opportunities, identifies reusable application materials, and avoids chasing low-value programs that require disproportionate paperwork.

For a faster first pass, return no more than 30 carefully verified opportunities rather than a large unfiltered list.
