Written 31.03.2003 14:05 by Ciara Howie Print Send article

Twenty industry groupings have received approximately $US 15,000 each to engage facilitators who will work to share expertise, identify common goals, and develop shared supplier and marketing information.

These were the first grants to be awarded under Industry New Zealand's cluster development program. The funding was allocated to clusters that offered the greatest benefits to their regions and were clearly aligned with their regions economic development strategy.
