Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS NEWZEALAND 2021 06
The Blue and Green Technology Conference 2022 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS NEWZEALAND 2021 06) was offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to New Zealand, specifically the Embassy's Public Affairs Section (PAS). It invited organizations to compete for funding to design and deliver a conference-style program in New Zealand that highlights leading U.S. and New Zealand innovations in "green and blue" technology. In this context, green and blue technologies are defined as environmentally friendly technologies that support sustainable ocean-based activities, clean energy development, or products and systems that rely on alternative fuels.
At its core, the program aims to strengthen practical ties between U.S. and New Zealand technology and business communities, with a strong focus on accelerating adoption of climate-forward solutions and improving climate resilience. The conference is meant to do more than simply showcase new ideas; it is intended to create real connections between innovators and decision-makers so both countries are better positioned to collaborate on future regional and global challenges related to sustainability, energy transition, and ocean stewardship.
The target participants are established New Zealand leaders across government, the private sector, and universities who are in positions to influence policy, investment, research priorities, or operational practices. The conference agenda is expected to address the full ecosystem around blue and green technology, including research and development needs, business and commercialization considerations, and community-level needs and impacts. A key expectation is that the event should actively support networking and collaboration, helping attendees build durable professional relationships and work with peers on issues that affect the region.
Logistically, the conference was required to be held in New Zealand, with Auckland listed as the preferred location. The program needed to take place before September 30, 2022. The opportunity was structured to support up to 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per award. Funding instruments listed include cooperative agreements, grants, and other mechanisms, signaling that the Embassy could be actively involved in shaping or coordinating aspects of the funded project depending on the award type.
Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not higher education institutions in that category). The funding activity category was listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the emphasis on innovation, applied technology, and cross-sector collaboration.
The opportunity was posted on July 9, 2021, and originally closed on August 6, 2021. Overall, this competition was designed to fund a well-organized, high-impact convening that connects U.S. and New Zealand expertise in sustainable technology, encourages real-world adoption, and builds long-term networks that can support shared climate and ocean-related priorities.Apply for PAS NEWZEALAND 2021 06
