IDEAS TO LIFE CONFERENCE 2018

Innovations for Healthy Living
A commercialisation event co-hosted by the University of Auckland Innovation Institute China,
HEDA, Kea, Zino Ventures and the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence (CAPE).

HANGZHOU 1 & 2 NOVEMBER 2018
Innovations for Healthy Living - IDEAS TO LIFE CONFERENCE 2018 - UniServices
In December 2017 we held the
inaugural Ideas to Life conference
at the University of Auckland
Innovation Institute China
(UOAIIC) in Hanghzou.
The commercialisation event on Day 1 was
oversubscribed by at least 50%, and validated the
strong desire from various Chinese stakeholder
groups to engage in a commercialisation forum.

Based on this experience, and on the current mix of
research capabilities and technology assets in our
portfolio, combined with a strong desire from high
tech start-up companies from the wider New Zealand
ecosystem, we believe our 2018 commercialisation
event will:

1 Increase visibility and credibility of hosts and
  sponsors to relevant key players in‑market.

2	
  Enable greater recognition of New Zealand’s
  collective innovative capabilities with clear
  examples of translation to industry application.

3	
  Serve as a platform to engage key opinion leaders in
  the Chinese innovation sector including government
  agencies, tech companies, venture capitalists and
  investor groups.

4	Demonstrate to NZ stakeholders, particularly
  government and industry, that the UOAIIC presents
  a ‘safe’ pathway in the Chinese market.
