New Zealand's largest university, with one of the most active commercialisation companies in Australasia.
The University of Auckland is New Zealand's largest and most research-intensive university, with notable strength in bioengineering, medicine, and engineering.
Its commercialisation company, UniServices, is among the largest and most active technology transfer operations in the southern hemisphere.
New Zealand's small domestic market forces companies to build for export almost immediately, which shapes how founders think about product and pricing from the outset.
Auckland's ecosystem is strongest in software, agricultural technology, health devices, and space.
Company formation concentrates in medical devices and bioengineering, agricultural technology, software, and materials.
The bioengineering institute has produced companies with international clinical customers despite the country's small population.
New Zealand has an active angel network structure and government co-investment funds that are well organised for a country of its size.
Australian and American investors participate as companies scale internationally.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
