Grants & Funding

Rob Lawrence - Technology & Marketing Development
One of the key challenges facing businesses in the 21st century is how to create the right combination of innovation, capability building, research and development and marketing, particularly in hi-tech fields. Whether you’re a backyard inventor or an established operation moving towards increasing sophistication, we can help you access resources, skills building, funding and marketing to assist you to realise new products and achieve your goals.

The New Zealand Government offers a full range of grants and funding assistance designed to encourage improvement in the capability of existing businesses. The grants are administered through various government agencies responsible for aspects of business and economic growth.  The eligibility criteria are strict and, in general, funds are not available to supplement a shortage of capital. 

We can:

  • Help you assess your own potential
  • Provide a gateway to funding sources and advice
  • Provide feedback based on our experience of R & D and management of technological innovation
  • Assist you with grant identification

For more information, please contact Rob Lawrence, on DDI (03) 353 0307 or email to discuss your needs.
