Bridging the Gap between Research and Practice
We're a thriving ecosystem of collaborative innovation and problem-solving expertise.

As the Impact Accelerator Network, we are a diverse team of practitioners from around the world, engaging in multidisciplinary research with clients to ensure that the theoretical meets the practical, and innovations are ready for real-world application.
Applied Research Excellence:
We all value critical thinking and highly applied research that translates into actionable insights, workable toolkits and tangible positive impacts for businesses, the environment and society.
While our industries, geographies, experience, and expertise may differ, we all share one thing in common, we are associated with the Professional Doctorate Program at the University of Otago in New Zealand, where we act as the external network to Otago’s Business School Impact Accelerator, bridging the gap between practice and research.

Challenges fuel us. We are passionate about dissecting complex problems and finding unique solutions. By leveraging the collective intelligence of our global network, we bring fresh perspectives and unparalleled expertise to tackle the most pressing challenges in both the private and public sectors.

We actively support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by engaging in problem-solving that transcends traditional boundaries, where the network contributes to economic growth, healthcare improvement, sustainable energy solutions, and more.
Continuous Learning & Growth:
We believe that growth and learning are continuous journeys. Our network offers workshops, webinars, and opportunities to work on live projects. Join us and be part of a community that encourages constant development and innovation.
Our Programs
Resilient Communities - South Pacific
The establishment program for 2024 is Resilient Communities: Adapting to Climate Change and Building Sustainable Businesses in the South Pacific, dedicated to fostering robust, adaptive, and economically vibrant communities across the South Pacific region.
Bio-Diversity
Led by Ian Herbert, the NZ BIOFIN Assessment will establish working groups and promote collaboration between the government, the private sector, and non-government organizations. His motivation stems from the low portion of biodiversity finance – current investments make less than 0.25% of national GDP - and the corresponding biodiversity loss in New Zealand.
