About ITP Research
ITP research is comprised of the research-active business divisions of Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology. Our network believes that applying responsive research to business and community needs, and collaboration with government agencies and the private sector, will increase the productivity of business and help New Zealand grow a strong and sustainable commercial innovation sector. It aims to do this by connecting the expertise of ITP research (including skilled graduates) with businesses, government agencies and communities.
In order to make this vision a reality ITP research has developed this ‘research voucher’ funding initiative. If you or your business have a problem that needs solving, a question that needs answering, or an idea that needs development – then talk to us, we want to work with you.
