NNCCs struggling to launch
National Network of Commercialisation Centres struggling to launch
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 5 May 2011 ) As the shampoo commercial says, it won't happen overnight, but it will happen.
So it seems is the National Network of Commercialisation Centres - a Ministry of Science and Innovation initiative to leverage this, sometimes thin, expertise in New Zealand.
When the scheme kicked off in August last year, the hope was something, maybe virtual, maybe real bricks and mortar, would've been in place by May of this year.
But that's not going to be met, as regional incubators and university and CRI commercialisation centre managers and the MSI flesh out exactly what and how the 2-4 NNCCs should operate.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
