Viclink Information

Viclink is Victoria University of Wellington’s commercialisation office, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the university. Our role is to add value to the University by helping researchers transform their discoveries into products or services that have real benefit to society. Viclink can help test, protect and develop an idea, optimising its chances of success, before launching it into the world where it can do the most good. Viclink translates Victoria's research and knowledge into sustainable economic growth for the region. We work closely with university researchers to support them in commercialising their inventions, and maximising the impact from their research. We assist with securing funding and investment, and developing the partnerships with industry necessary to take these ideas forward. Using our researcher's knowledge and expertise, we deliver sustainable social and economic development projects in the Asia-Pacific. We support and stimulate entrepreneurship across the university, whether it be starting a new commercial service activity, a new business, or enterprise skill development in staff and students.
