About
Dr. Katharina Ruckstuhl is a leading scholar at the intersection of Indigenous innovation, science policy, and high-tech economic development, with a focus on Aotearoa New Zealand. Her work critically examines how Māori knowledge systems and values can be recognised and integrated within rapidly evolving sectors like robotics, automation, and digital technologies. Her most-cited paper, "Recognising and valuing Māori innovation in the high‐tech sector: a capacity approach" (2019, 14 citations), proposes a framework for developing a shared language and purpose between Māori communities and the science sector, moving beyond simple inclusion to genuine co-creation of value. This contribution is pivotal for shaping equitable innovation ecosystems. Dr. Ruckstuhl’s research has significant impact on policy and practice, informing how science organisations and tech firms engage with Indigenous intellectual property and cultural assets. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in decolonising technology, responsible innovation, and building a more inclusive future for the knowledge economy.
