How we can help you to go circular
We have supported a number of businesses to grow their circular offerings. E-waste recyclers Mint Innovation accessed a wide range of Callaghan Innovation support – including project, growth, student experience and career grants, as well as tapping into our R&D services, and networks – as it grew from lab to commercial scale. Similarly, Leaft Foods received a project grant from us in 2019 to support R&D work, and has also tapped into a wide range of our services to help it grow its circular business model to reduce the environmental impact of food production.
Our people – including more than 200 of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading scientists and engineers – empower innovators by connecting people, opportunities and networks, and providing tailored technical solutions, skills and capability development programmes, and grants co-funding.
