Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology (FRST) / Tuāpapa Rangahau Pūtaiao


FRST logo small

The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology was established by an Act of Government in 1990 to invest in research, science and technology for the benefit of New Zealand. Such research  could improve our standard of living by improving environmental or social conditions. Or it could boost the economy by delivering a new niche product or service.
