TechNZ Investment Programmes

TechNZ funding falls into two categories:

 

Technology Funding

 

Technology funding provides support for potential high growth companies to undertake research and development projects to develop new technology products, processes or services.  Support is for typically somewhat larger projects – expected project cost upwards of $60,000.


Investments will be made in a range of companies, from early stage to mature companies across a broad range of sectors.  The government will focus on four priority sectors as shown below, but will consider good investments outside of these areas:

 

  • Food and beverage manufacturing and other industries that utilise raw materials grown locally

  • Biotechnology - this includes human therapeutics, biotechnology and medical devices

  • Specialised manufacturing - this sector covers the NZ manufacturing base

  • Information and communication technologies - this sector includes software, electronics and related industries.

 

Capability Funding


Capability funding is targeted both at early stage technology companies to give them the tools they need to succeed in research and development, and mature companies to help them exploit emerging areas of science and technology. Support is aimed at smaller projects, typically for projects for between $2,000 and $60,000.  Capability funding is flexible. Examples include:

 

  • Involving young scientists, students, technicians and engineers in research and development projects
  • Engaging experts in research and development, and commercialisation project
  • Hosting Masters and PhD students
