Auckland’s drive to become an innovation hub of the Asia Pacific region and subsequently export more value added, technology based goods and services is gaining momentum.The city has taken crucial steps to build a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship and the results are seen in an exciting innovation corridor from Albany to Mangere all facilitated by the region’s economic growth agency Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (Ateed), which recently released The Auckland Innovation Plan.Ateed chief executive Brett O’Riley says innovation is at the core of economic growth in Auckland.”The city has matured to the point where we are recognised for our high tech sectors and locally born global companies. Our economy is well past being overly influenced by milk fat prices set in overseas markets.”An innovation led economy means businesses grow quicker, employ more skilled staff and engage with international markets faster,” says O’Riley.”We can have more Fisher Paykel Healthcares, Orion Healths and Booktracks bursting on to the global stage.”The latest Innovation Cities Index, released in May this year by influential agency 2thinknow, placed Auckland 106th globally and 20th in the Asia Pacific sub region. Auckland is well placed to rapidly climb the rankings.The Auckland Innovation Plan sets a goal of generating an additional $8 billion a year into the local economy by 2025, through increased research and development and innovation activity.Innovation is developing new goods and services that create value and enhance business performance.By 2025 Ateed wants to see 60 per cent of businesses in Auckland participating in this activity up from 42 per cent in 2011.Key actions outlined in the plan:Build strong connections and working practices, both nationally and internationally, with public and private sector partners to promote and enhance the value of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Auckland economy.Ensure innovative businesses are aware of the range of support and resources available such as Ateed’s delivery of the Government’s Regional Business Partners programme across Auckland.Work with partners to address skills shortages and attract new qualified people to Auckland, as well as supporting the development of the local workforce.Encourage more investment into growth sectors such as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and digital media.Ateed will help implement a new innovation mentoring programme; it will identify and support innovative businesses with high growth potential; and it will work with partners to support Maori and Pacific peoples’ economic development, innovation and investment.These actions, to be well under way by the 2016/17 financial year, will create an environment in which innovation permeates throughout all sectors and businesses.Research and developmentPlenty of research, development and brainstorming is taking place from Albany to Mangere. 0 Murray fought after fatal punch killed uncle Insist that your child wash up before snacks and meals and after coming in from outside.
