Lily Clague grew up on a sheep station in West Otago - a place so remote Gore was considered a thriving metropolis.
Today, she is a research technologist working to decarbonise the zinc and steel industries.
The 25-year-old is also one of the MacDiarmid Institute's '100 inspired' - which in the words of institute founder Sir Paul Callaghan recognises, "100 inspired entrepreneurs that could turn this country around".
Lily Clague is a chemist at Christchurch-based start-up Zincovery. Kathryn spoke to the company's co-founder Jonathan Ring back in 2022.
