Scion to ignite New Zealand's bioeconomyFriday 1 Aug 2025
Developed in partnership with RotoruaNZ, the proposals offer a transformational opportunity to invest in infrastructure that will power regional development and ignite New Zealand's bioeconomy. With bold investment, these projects could unlock $30 billion in new high-value bio-based products, generating high-value jobs, strengthening local economies, and driving sustainable growth. The proposed developments are situated at Scion’s Rotorua campus, Te Papa Tipu BioInnovation Park, which hosts a dynamic innovation ecosystem of scientists and more than 43 tenants. The area where Scion Group’s Rotorua campus is located is known as Te Mingi, home to the tangata whenua – Ngāti Hurungaterangi, Ngāti Taeotu, and Ngāti Te Kahu – collectively known as Ngā Hapū e Toru. Recognising the deep ancestral connection of these hapū to the land, Scion was gifted the name Te Papa Tipu, meaning Growth from the Land. Scion and Ngā Hapū e Toru have nurtured a partnership to oversee the land’s use and development. Scion is a major partner in the upcoming Bioeconomy Innovations Conference 2025, being held in Rotorua on 21-22 October 2025. The aim is to unlock the future of sustainable bio-products, a key goal of Scion and the newly created New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science. More >> Source & image credit: Scion .jpg) | ||
