Start-ups play a critical role in increasing innovation, diversifying the economy and creating high-value jobs. Government funding aims to support start-ups to overcome barriers to their success and grow the number of experienced entrepreneurs.

Callaghan Innovation expects that successful Respondents will provide ‘core business support and development services’ to technology start-ups to support their business formation and growth.
Suppliers must focus on improving the business capability skills of entrepreneurs, supporting the business to grow through in-market traction, ensure that businesses are investment ready, provide support to access international markets and contribute to New Zealand’s start-up eco-system.
