Science reforms are an economic opportunity - NZIER Insight 122

The new Public Research Organisations (PROs) are an excellent opportunity to grow the New Zealand economy through science and research. Investment in research and science is good for the New Zealand economy, but the way it’s done also matters. We will derive greater benefits by focusing on science with commercial potential, collaborating with other scientists and end-users, and connecting with international science and overseas markets.  

In this Insight, NZIER reviews past successes and provides ideas for the future: focus, funding and collaboration are key.
