MacDiarmid Institute spinout support

By The MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology

We help grow New Zealand’s economy by supporting our researchers to turn scientific discoveries into new technologies, businesses, and jobs. Since 2002, our graduates and Investigators have spun-out 38 high-tech start-up companies. We work with our researchers and university technology transfer offices to help bring new ideas and inventions out of the lab and into the real world. These start-ups can create skilled jobs for our graduates, attract investment, support a more sustainable future, and take New Zealand innovation into the global marketplace. MacDiarmid Institute affiliated-spinout companies are supported through multiple stages of their lifecycle - from initial concept validation and technology development, to commercial launch and attracting investment, through to technology and commercial scale-up.
