Our annual Techweek event is aimed at enhancing connections between our researchers and a range of industry partners who utilise our research to enhance their commercial offerings, particularly in the uptake of sustainable technologies.
Deep tech forms the nexus between science, high-value companies and sustainability. This dynamic opportunity is growing rapidly in NZ!
Join us to hear about dynamic applications of science to high value commercial opportunities. We will also host a series of "Tech Tasters", where entrepreneurs pitch their work in a rapid fire series.
Collaboration between science leaders and entrepreneurs at MacDiarmid, NZ Product Accelerator, MESA, CHIASMA, Momentum Committees and UC Biomolecular Interaction Centre.
