Concept rendering of The BioFactory
New Zealand’s Bioeconomy Bridge
Imagine a future where New Zealand’s natural resources become the organic biomaterials of tomorrow.
The BioFactory is designed to make that future possible. We are building a scaled piloting and IP commercialisation facility in Rotorua.
It bridges New Zealand's world-class biomass science and the commercial market. Converting forestry residues, agricultural by-products, and marine inputs into validated, bioproducts.
Bringing together innovators, researchers, manufacturers, and investors, The BioFactory provides shared infrastructure and capability to transform breakthrough ideas into globally competitive products.
Venture infrastructure that creates ventures
More than a facility, The BioFactory is a catalyst for a new generation of high-value biomaterials and export opportunities, helping New Zealand capture more value onshore while building solutions that meet growing global demand for sustainable materials, chemicals, and products.
This represents a potential $30 billion industry, an opportunity for New Zealand not just to grow, but to lead: building a future that is smart, homegrown, sustainable, and globally competitive.
