Insights from our Executive Director

I feel like my feet aren’t even touching the ground — I’m so proud of what the BioTechNZ team and our ambassadors are achieving! My dream was to see New Zealand back on the global stage, and we are absolutely knocking it out of the park.

Thank you to NZTE for all the work you’re doing behind the scenes to get us to USA BIO in San Diego. A big thank you also to Callaghan Innovation for your support with everything involved in having a booth at AusBiotech. And of course, thank you to the 14+ New Zealand companies and organisations whose logos will be proudly displayed at our New Zealand Biotechnology stand.
