Wellington UniVentures provides a range of commercial research and consultancy services building on intellectual property that has been developed inside Victoria University of Wellington. These services are provided alongside the more traditional commercialisation expertise that Wellington UniVentures delivers as a technology transfer office.
Our clients include external research agencies, industry clients and partners, private corporates and other universities located both in New Zealand and around the world.
Research and consultancy services from Wellington UniVentures can be adapted to the specific needs of our clients, helping to solve problems which would benefit from our expertise and intellectual property.
