It’s time to tell us about what you’re doing to change the world by entering the New Zealand Innovation Awards 2017.
Callaghan Innovation is a proud partner of the 2017 New Zealand Innovation Awards. The awards are annual recognition and celebration of New Zealand innovation in all of its forms, giving smart, innovative NZ individuals and businesses a platform to be recognised and celebrated.
NZ Innovation Council CEO Louise Webster says: “It doesn’t matter what industry you are working in, or what stage of growth you are at – you may have an innovation project that is still in development, a product or service that you have just launched to market, or a business that you have been growing for many years. Regardless of your size or stage of growth, we want to hear about your contribution to innovation.”
