AJ Park is proud to sponsor the 2026 KiwiNet Research Commercialisation Awards and Nexus Summit once again, reinforcing our commitment to helping New Zealand’s innovation ecosystem protect, commercialise and grow their ideas.
The KiwiNet Awards recognise the individuals, teams and organisations transforming world-class research into real-world impact. As the networking sponsor, we are proud to support an event that brings the innovation community together to celebrate the people, partnerships and breakthrough ideas helping shape New Zealand's future. The event will be held on 8 October 2026 at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland.
The Nexus Summit supports early and mid-career commercialisation professionals with speakers, panel discussions, and workshops focused on the value proposition of the tech transfer professional. The Summit will be held on 8 October 2026 at the Rydges Hotel in Auckland.
With a 135-year history, AJ Park has worked alongside generations of innovators, researchers, startups, spin-outs, universities and investors to help protect and commercialise new ideas. From securing patents and trade marks to supporting investment readiness and international expansion, we are passionate about helping innovation create lasting impact.
We look forward to celebrating this year's award finalists and winners, connecting with attendees, and continuing to support the organisations and innovators shaping New Zealand's innovation space.
