New Zealand’s 100 inspired entrepreneurs

In 2011, Sir Paul Callaghan, who founded the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, said in a pitch for the science-led prosperity of Aotearoa that "one hundred inspired entrepreneurs could turn this place around”. In 2024, the MacDiarmid Institute will have alumni working across the motu and across industries in roles that require research training and a deep tech skill set. Founders of startups, CEOs and CSOs, research scientists and innovation experts provide concrete examples of the value that Callaghan was talking about.
