Our partners

We oversee an innovative R&D programme which is delivered through an alliance of our four research partners: Scion, Plant & Food Research, AgResearch and Callaghan Innovation, along with universities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

By leveraging specialist skills and capabilities from across these research organisations and others in the innovation ecosystem, we’re able to support a range of projects to transform low value by-products from primary industry into higher value products.
