Illuminating
Commercialisation Pathways
The Lighthouse is a centralised commercialisation hub, offering a clear and comprehensive view of our dynamic commercialisation ecosystem. Our mission is to enrich, support, fund and democratise access to Aotearoa | New Zealand’s Science, Technology and Innovation Ecosystem.
Our Programmes
The Lighthouse illuminates commercialisation pathways by way of our programmes, that also serve as different entry points into the commercialisation ecosystem. Return On Science, Momentum and Te Kōara are all designed to support and amplify research and innovation across Aotearoa New Zealand.
These three powerful programmes are tailored to serve distinct environments: catalysing deep tech and research; cultivating future-facing innovation and student talent; and navigating Māori-led commercialisation.
