The Building Innovation work stream of the Business Growth Agenda aims to grow New Zealand’s economy by encouraging and enabling investment in research and development, and lifting the value of public investments in science and research.
In August the Government released a new report ‘Building Innovation’ that lays out the challenge of building on and making the most of New Zealand’s innovation strengths and opportunities. It aims to promote greater investment in research and development and better commercialisation of smart ideas, among others. The report is the second in a series of six reports on the Government’s Business Growth Agenda and can be viewed here
