KiwiNet Awards 2024 Winners

Whakamihi / Congratulations to the KiwiNet Awards 2024 Winners

We’re incredibly proud of Dr Jack Chen from Spherelose and Dr Abi Thampi from AUT Ventures, who were named finalists at last night’s KiwiNet Research Commercialisation Awards.

While we didn’t win this time, the recognition of their work reinforces the exciting progress in research commercialisation across Aotearoa. It’s an incredible privilege to be part of a community where innovation thrives, and we support each other in bringing groundbreaking ideas to life.

As was said on the night, we’re turning bold ideas from “what if” into “what is,” and that’s a win in itself.

A massive "nga mihi nui / thank you" to everyone at KiwiNet who worked so hard behind the scenes and the generous sponsors who made the Awards possible.
