Turning research into business

Book

If you have research with commercial potential, powerHouse could help.


powerHouse works with researchers to translate science into applications and access the most appropriate route to commercialisation. Using our proprietary approach to market research and our extensive industry contacts, we assess the commercial feasibility and decide whether to licence the technology or form a new technology business.

STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH ACADEMIA

powerHouse has formed partnerships with the University of Canterbury, Lincoln University and Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology. Our strength is our ability to identify suitable technology to commercialise and and to either develop businesses to create value, or establishing commercial partnerships to do so. Our expertise in this area combined with our knowledge of both industry and finance has led to a track record of consistently delivering excellent results for our companies and our partners.
