Let’s fund your innovation

Got an idea worth building? The New to R&D Grant is designed to fund up to $400k of early-stage innovation. We can help you secure this funding and even build the technology it supports.

Great ideas deserve backing

Too many businesses miss out on generous R&D funding. Some don’t realise they qualify. Others don’t have the time or technical expertise to prepare a strong application. And many lack the technology partner needed to actually deliver the project.

That’s where Nero Motion comes in. We help businesses apply for a R&D grant – and then build the innovation that funding makes possible.

Key benefits for your business

Administered through MBIE, the New to R&D Grant supports New Zealand businesses starting their research and development journey.

The government grant can fund up to 40% of eligible R&D costs over two years, up to a maximum of $400k.
