Into the future - Annual Report 2024
2 July, 2025
In 2011 our founder, Sir Paul Callaghan, said 'a hundred inspired New Zealand entrepreneurs could turn this country around'. We share here quotes from some of our alumni who have either founded their own deep tech start-up company, are working within other deep tech start-ups, or are working in wider research-led industry here in Aotearoa New Zealand. We continue to support our students to make this difference, with our ongoing soft skills training, internships and more.
