Research
The Ministry works with other agencies to enhance government assistance for business research and development, and succeeded in increasing funding for Foundation for Research Science and Technology (FRST) business grant schemes. We also conducted research highlighting the role country-specific factors such as size and distance play in the levels of research and development and patenting in New Zealand.
The Ministry also initiated a pilot of the Danish Technology Institute's Technology Partnership Programme. This scheme enables New Zealand businesses to access a network of international research institutions to provide specialist services on technology issues.
