New Zealand has what the world needs.

The world is racing to improve energy security, resource productivity and industrial sustainability. New Zealand innovators are building the technologies to help make it happen.

Recovering value from waste. Powering a low-carbon future. Decarbonising industry.

New Zealand climate and cleantech innovation including resource recovery, clean energy systems and low-carbon materials.

TURNING POTENTIAL INTO IMPACT

By 2030, its estimated the emissions reductions enabled by a small group of New Zealand's climate technology companies could exceed the annual carbon removal of New Zealand's entire forestry sector.

The opportunity is enormous. The challenge is scale.

‍New Zealand has no shortage of world-class environmental and industrial innovation. What we lack are the customers, deployment opportunities and growth capital needed to help these technologies scale.

As a small and geographically remote nation, we need to work together if our best technologies are to scale and succeed.

Sphere exists to help turn that potential into outsized impact for New Zealand and the world
