The Interface event follows on from last years successful collaboration with top NZ companies including Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Buckley Systems, Avertana and the Defence Technology Agency. Scientists from the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology and the Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonics and Quantum Technologies come together to answer questions or problems faced by industry and find novel ways to solve them. This year the companies involved will talk about their experiences and how they have overcome various problems.
