The Pōneke Wellington hub expands on Medtech-iQ Aotearoa's commitment to 'community engagement, participation and co-design' with a co-lab as a trans-institutional shared facility at Wellington Regional Hospital. It will facilitate research 'on location' by bringing together researchers and students with clinicians and patients to solve real life health problems emerging within community and clinical settings.

 

Our hub will call on a multi-disciplinary regional collaboration with:

 

• Te Whatu Ora Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley

• Victoria University of Wellington

• University of Otago, Wellington

• Massey University

​

Our capital city location offers real opportunity to work with government organisations such as Te Whatu Ora's Emerging Health Technology and Innovation Group or Te Aka Whai Ora, or to capitalise on synergies with our internationally acknowledged Digital Creative Sector.
