AUT has secured a place in the first Call for Projects under the Applied Doctorate Scheme (ADS), with a research project led in partnership with AUT spinout company Dot Ingredients and Australian energy innovator, Allego Energy.

The New Zealand Government has announced a new national approach to managing intellectual property (IP) arising from publicly funded research. The new framework is designed to make commercialisation more accessible, more nationally consistent, and more rewarding for researchers, and importantly, it aligns closely with how AUT already operates in this space.

After a busy yet energising week celebrating Auckland’s first Startup Week, a citywide showcase of innovation and entrepreneurship, the AUT Ventures team is finally catching our collective breath. The week brought together hundreds of founders, innovators, investors, and ecosystem partners across Tāmaki Makaurau, and we were proud to be right in the middle of it all, attending a variety of events throughout the week.
