Financial assistance

From time to time Government grants are available to assist with the creation of new technologies and businesses. The Government currently provides financial support through New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) and Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FRST).

The Government announced the establishment of a new Ministry of Science and Innovation for late 2010. The new Ministry will replace the Foundation and the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology.

See http://www.business.govt.nz/ for details of existing Government financial support.
