Clusters are groups of companies and related organisations that collaborate to grow their business.
Using this collaborative team approach allows businesses, regions and interest groups to develop greater speed, quality, innovation and critical mass. This assists in resolving practical issues like training, infrastructure and procurement.
If you see benefit in networking and co-operating with other businesses and organisations related to your industry, our cluster development programme may be able to help you.
We provide tools, advice, workshops and an annual conference for businesses, regions, and groups of organisations.
The Cluster Development Programme fund was disestablished on 1 July 2006, although the programme will continue to support an annual cluster conference and cluster workshops.
Regional economic development agencies can apply for funding to support collaboration activities within their region including supporting clusters through NZTE’s Regional Partnership Programme.
