Commercialising deep tech requires turning complex research into real-world impact—and we are always proud to see that work recognized within New Zealand’s innovation ecosystem.

In September 2023, Idealog featured the winners of the prestigious KiwiNet Awards, where Precision Chroma founder and CEO Dr. Sean Feast took home the Sprout Breakthrough Innovator Award.

The award celebrated Sean’s journey from joining the University of Canterbury’s 3D porous media research team in 2017 to founding Precision Chroma five years later. It also highlighted the massive potential of our 3D printed chromatography technology to disrupt the $8.5 billion bio-separations market, offering commercial-scale processing time reductions of up to two days and saving the industry hundreds of millions of dollars.
