Innovation Partnering Callaghan Innovation is New Zealand’s national innovation agency with a broad ecosystem role and access to government-backed R&D grants, enabling collaboration-based sales opportunities with ambitious firms seeking funding and technical support.

GovTech Initiatives Active efforts in GovGPT pilots and government-facing technology programs suggest a strong opportunity to offer AI, LLM integration, and modular software solutions for public sector digital transformation and regulatory compliance.

Technical Talent With over 200 leading scientists and engineers and a capability development framework, there is potential to upsell advanced R&D services, bespoke product development, and technical training partnerships.

Digital Infrastructure Current tech stack including AWS, Drupal, Microsoft 365, and analytics tools indicates openness to cloud-native, data, and collaboration platform enhancements that can be packaged as hosted services or modernization projects.

Growth Funding Revenue in the low to mid single-digit millions and close ties to MBIE, NZTE, and Crown Research Institutes position Callaghan as a bridge to scale-ups needing co-funding, grants expertise, and ecosystem connectivity.
