Investors
Engaging Medical Technology Innovation
Investors play a critical role in taking Medical Technology from an idea to reality, driving future health technologies and the New Zealand economy. This is both through capital investment, but also through mentorship, strategic guidance, and industry connections. Medtech-iQ Aotearoa can connect investors to interest areas in the New Zealand MedTech sector.
Collaborate
To get an initial understanding of the sector, local University Tech Transfer Offices and Accelerator sites, along with Callaghan Innovation, KiwiNet, and Return on Science can all provide an overview of opportunities and challenges.
Providing insight and challenge, especially bringing international experience of scaling deep tech, will be welcomed by many of our early-stage MedTech initiatives.
