About us

Te Pokapū Auaha Callaghan Innovation has been Aotearoa New Zealand’s innovation agency, supporting businesses to turn ideas into commercial success.

We’ve worked alongside innovators across the motu, providing research and development expertise, funding, and connections to help grow world‑class businesses. Our role has been to make innovation easier to access and apply, so more New Zealand organisations can succeed through science and technology.

What’s happening now

Callaghan Innovation is now being disestablished as part of wider changes to the science, innovation and technology system. 

Our focus is on supporting a smooth transition of our services and making sure businesses and partners continue to have access to the support they need.

Many of our services are continuing during this period and will transfer to other organisations across the system over time. 

Staying informed
