Supporting ICT companies to succeed through R&D
TechNZ is the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology's business investment programme. It provides up to NZ$50 million each year to businesses to discover and develop new technologies and build people’s skills and knowledge to carry out leading edge research and development.
TechNZ is focused on growing the number of world-class New Zealand companies through innovative technology, particularly in the ICT sector. They recognise that
investing in innovation and developing new skills and technologies are an essential part of keeping an ICT business sustainable and globally competitive.
If you haven't worked with TechNZ before, or are considering undertaking research and development for the first time, please contact your nearest TechNZ partner. TechNZ partners are a network of trusted regional advisors located throughout the country who work with businesses to develop and sell new technology-based products.
TechNZ partners provide fast, readily accessible advice to smaller regional companies. They typically work with businesses undertaking early stage or small research and development projects, or first-time research and development companies.
TechNZ partners also provide a wide range of assistance beyond the application and investment process by connecting businesses to experts, research partners and companies with complementary skills, and providing advice on commercialisation and protecting intellectual property.
If you have successfully received TechNZ investment in the past, contact your business manager at the nearest Foundation office.
