New Zealand's nine Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) were set up
in 1992 as government-owned companies. They have a clear focus on
servicing the technology and innovation needs of important sectors
of the economy along with the freedom to operate as commercial organisations.
The company structure allows the CRIs to borrow funds, form joint
ventures and subsidiary companies so that they can fully exploit
the commercial potential of new developments for the benefit of
New Zealand.
The CRIs undertake a wide range of research, technology development
and consulting for private companies within New Zealand and overseas.
The CRIs also undertake strategic public good science for government,
work that complements the more applied research undertaken for the
private sector.
