We provide support for publicly-funded research with big ambitions.
We believe in the power of science and deep-tech discoveries to transform lives, benefit communities, improve health and the environment, and contribute to the prosperity of Aotearoa for future generations.
All while creating valuable economic benefit and financial returns.
We are here for the commercialisation community.
The Kiwi Innovation Network is the combined power of 19 shareholders and partners. That’s 19 of New Zealand’s leading public research organisations working together to take science innovations out of the lab, and into the world.
We champion research commercialisation from idea to investment.
