Marlborough Research Centre (MRC) is a charitable Trust working with primary sector groups, research organisations, innovators, and educators to improve Marlborough’s regional economy.

Since establishment in 1984, MRC has maintained strong links to Marlborough District Council, Crown Research providers, primary sector producer groups and universities.

Our role is to facilitate, connect and seed fund locally based industry-initiated and supported research.

Our objective is to bring together research, business and education under the cloak of the recently opened New Zealand Wine Centre where an integrated hub has been established across a wide group of organisations.
