KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Programme
If you are an early career scientist wanting to push your innovations out of the lab and into the hands of real users, the Emerging Innovator Programme may be for you. The Programme provides funding to enable scientists to build industry connections and demonstrate a proof-of-principle of a disruptive new invention.
Mike Collins Memorial Scholarship
The Mike Collins Commercialisation Scholarship supports recipients to undertake a part-time research commercialisation project for 12 weeks, and is accompanied by mentoring and training in best-practice commercialisation techniques. It is designed to be equally valuable to those considering a career as an academic, a start-up founder for a deep-tech company, or in the commercialisation of research.
