The University of Otago and Business South invite you to Innovation for Industry // Tap Into Research - an evening of ideas, insights, and connections. This event marks the beginning of a new era of collaboration between local businesses, government, and University researchers, as we welcome Professor Greg Cook, Otago’s new Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Innovation.
 
Over drinks in a relaxed setting, you’ll hear how research is already helping local companies solve problems, develop smarter products, and seize new opportunities. You’ll also discover practical ways your business can:

• Tap into the expertise within the University of Otago
• Connect with researchers keen to collaborate
• Explore how innovation can drive growth in your industry

 
The evening includes networking with business and research leaders, plus a short panel discussion led by Grant Robertson (Vice-Chancellor, University of Otago) with Greg Cook, Mike Collins (CEO Business South) and Julie Curphey (NZTE) on how we can grow and strengthen Dunedin’s high-tech economy.
 
Whether you’re running a small enterprise or leading a major company, Innovation for Industry is your chance to meet, share, and shape the future together.
