History
Lincoln Ventures Ltd was created in 1994 as a subsidiary of Lincoln University, by combining a number of semi-autonomous operations. These included the New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute, the Kellogg Farm Management Unit and the Centre for Resource Management.
Current Focus
We provide research and professional advice to a range of clients, building upon a solid base of long-term, government funded research.
A very close connection with research users has encouraged a focus on real-world problems.
We employ about 40 research scientists, technicians and support staff to carry out research in its own right.
Very close links with Lincoln University at times provide another doorway to its considerable resources. Our primary role however does not include the commercialisation of intellectual property generated within Lincoln University. Lincoln Ventures Ltd should not be confused with the applied research or commercialisation offices at other New Zealand universities.
