The Lincoln Hub has rebranded and moved onto the Lincoln University campus. Now called Blinc Innovation it occupies the former student space The Workshop, which has been converted into the Blinc Workshop.
The Hub was the innovation network and agri research precinct made up of five partners: Lincoln University, AgResearch, DairyNZ, Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research, and Plant and Food Research.
The new workshop is a co-working space which caters for start-up teams and small agri businesses, looking for a place to connect, permanent or semi-permanent desks, and space for meetings and workshops.
Blinc sees its role as innovating and creating in harmony with nature, developing sustainable solutions, and leaving the planet in a better place tomorrow than today.
To do this it acts as a connector, helping grow an ecosystem across agrifood and technology to stimulate and land innovation, through networking, events, collective collaborations and research around a shared vision for the future for agrifood.
Toni Laming, Blinc CEO is excited about the new chapter, “We bring people together and facilitate Connected Thinking, starting at Lincoln, in Canterbury and across New Zealand, then moving around the globe to enable collective collaboration.”
