NZ research gets a showcase portal……..at last
NZ research gets a showcase portal……..at last
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 7 Feb. 2012 ) It’s good to see that, at last, some of the ideas and intellectual property residing in many of our universities and CRI’s has a bit of a showcase.
When you think about it, New Zealand’s combined research pool is only the size of that of a medium sized USA state – so providing a potential first place for the wider globe of people looking for skills and expertise makes a lot of sense.
Being curlish, you could ask why it has taken so long.
But let’s give credit to KiwiNet, which has set up an Innovation Database, briefly showcasing 80 projects from its nine core members, plus some others around New Zealand.
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
