Scion Group

At Scion, we believe forests can transform the way we live — driving innovation, sustainability and economic growth. As group of the Bioeconomy Science Institute, we use world-leading research to grow and strengthen New Zealand’s bioeconomy. From land-based biosecurity and freshwater management to indigenous forestry, high-value manufacturing and climate change adaptation, we’re turning science into real-world impact, new products and commercial success. We specialise in forestry, industrial biotechnology and advanced manufacturing. Our work supports sustainable forest management, tree improvement, biosecurity, risk mitigation, wood processing, bioenergy and the development of biomaterials from waste. Through collaboration with researchers, industry and government, we provide ecosystem expertise to support land-use decisions and help shape a resilient, low-carbon, circular economy.
