"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

A small uptake has forced the Ministry of Science and Innovation to lower the threshold for companies wanting to use its new technology transfer vouchers.

The entry level has dropped to $30,000 from $100,000 for small companies wishing to obtain government 1:1 co-funding of research and development projects.

To the end of June, 10 projects targeting high-value manufacturing had been approved at six accredited university, polytechnic and Crown Research Institutes science providers across the country.
