The Institute Industrial Research Limited , was one of the former eight New Zealand Crown Research Institutes , which had the task of promoting and developing new technologies or business ideas , bringing them to market maturity in cooperation and thus the industrial branch of New Zealand with newly developed products and corresponding know-how -how to support. The name of the institute in Māori was Te Tauihu Pūtaiao what with the leading edge of science ( the leading corner / wave science was translated).

At the end of the 2007/2008 financial year , the institute had made a profit of just over half a million NZ $ for the first time in many years , whereas the sometimes considerable losses in previous years repeatedly gave cause for concern.

On February 1, 2013, the institute renamed Callaghan Industrial Research Ltd was dissolved as the Crown Research Institute and continued as a subsidiary of Callaghan Innovation .

Headquarters and offices

The headquarters of the Institute was in Lower Hutt near Wellington . Two other offices were in Auckland and Christchurch .

history

In the 1980s, the New Zealand government began to restructure research and science . In 1989 the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology was created for this purpose with the aim of advising the government, preparing decision-making processes, prioritizing the allocation of funds and introducing success monitoring. But that's not all, the aim was to create individual institutes for different areas of responsibility that operate independently and responsibly under government supervision, work with their own guidelines and rules and carry out public and private-sector contracts based on success. With the Crown Research Institutes Act 1992 , ten Crown Research Institutes were founded for this purpose and later reduced to eight, the Institute Industrial Research Limited was one of the eight.

With the Companies Act 1993 , all institutions were converted into limited companies. Industrial Research Limited, like all other Crown Research Institutes, was subordinate to the Crown Company Unit (controlling and advisory department) of the Ministry of Finance and the responsible Minister for Research, Science and Technology. Both ministers responsible became shareholders of the eight Crown Research Institutes and registered accordingly.
