What we do
We co-fund and undertake research and development projects with companies by using the expertise of our partners: (AgResearch, Scion, Plant & Food Research and Callaghan Innovation) along with universities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
We’re funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to support value-add opportunities utilising low value biological by-products of primary industry processing. This includes raw materials derived from forestry, marine, agricultural, horticultural, animal and microbiological streams.
Through the transformation of by-products, we aim to increase productivity, generate export revenue, and create environmental and social benefits for New Zealanders.
