Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

What is it?

While the legacy of Callaghan Innovation continues, its critical R&D grants and start-up support programmes have transitioned to Innovation Services within the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. Think of them as the engine room for Kiwi companies that want to build world-class technology.

How does it work?

They award R&D grants and funding to help share the financial risk of developing new products. Beyond just money, they open doors to a network of scientists, engineers, and innovation experts, both within their own labs and across the country, to help you solve tough technical problems.

Who is it for?

New Zealand businesses that are undertaking Research and Development (R&D). Whether you are a high-tech startup or a large established manufacturer, if you are developing new technology, science, or engineering solutions, you can access their help.
