Creative industries
The creative industries are an important sector and help the city's
economy become more productive, innovative and competitive. As Auckland
city is home to the creative industries in New Zealand, we focus on
accelerating opportunities for the creative sector.

business sector for the country and the Auckland region. Biotechnology is important because it is a high value, high growth sector and
a globally competitive industry.

the country and the Auckland region. ICT is a high value, high
