CATALYSING
DEEP TECH
Return On Science is a national research commercialisation advisory and investment programme. We are based in Aotearoa New Zealand,
The programme aligns researchers and innovators with relevant experts who evaluate, offer insight, and facilitate connections.
The aim is to accelerate the commercialisation of early-stage technologies that emerge from publicly funded research institutes.
The power of our committees lies in their responsiveness to the specific needs of each project presented to us.
Our core committee members are generalist investors, highly successful entrepreneurs and industry partners; while our subject matter experts are called on to advise on specific projects that align with their expertise.
By harnessing generalist experience and specialised subject matter expertise, Return On Science is positioned to deliver a tailored committee for each project that enters our programme.
Catalysing Collaboration
By fostering connections among researchers, industry partners, and investors, Return On Science enhances collaboration across the research ecosystem.
This networking capability is especially beneficial for TTOs and CRIs focusing on niche or emerging sectors, ensuring that unique ideas gain the attention and resources they need to thrive.
