well as access to ATP Innovations’ networks, events and
business programmes, other benefits include:

“This offer presents a prime opportunity for New Zealand technology companies to more easily establish themselves in the Australian market”, said Susan Wilson New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s Australia National Manager, Bioeconomy, based in Melbourne.
ATP Innovations CEO Hamish Hawthorn said the decision to work with New Zealand business was motivated by a desire to facilitate better business commercialisation of Kiwi companies.
