New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science

The formation of the New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science (NZIBS) was announced as part of the New Zealand science sector reforms. The NZIBS will come into being as a Crown Research Institute (CRI) on 1 July 2025, and will be made up of the disestablished CRIs Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, AgResearch, Plant & Food Research and Scion. The new organization will later become a Public Research Organisation once legislation to enact the change has passed through the New Zealand parliament. The focus of NZIBS will be "advancing innovation in agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, biotechnology and manufacturing; protecting ecosystems from biosecurity threats and climate risks; and developing new bio-based technologies and products".
