The Cluster Muster
.
The Cluster Muster, the launch of Southland's Engineering & Manufacturing Cluster.
We’ve all heard of famous innovation clusters – Detroit’s auto industry concentration, technology in Silicon Valley, London’s financial sector, the Napa Valley’s wine production, and Hollywood’s movie production industry.
Clusters are the driving force in regional economies and provide enduring competitive advantages in a global economy.
Our opportunity is to develop a cluster with engineering and manufacturing service-related businesses that will:
- Purposefully build on Southland’s specialised engineering and services capability that has been built around NZAS, and also underpins our agriculture and food manufacturing sectors
- Develop an environment built on openness, with collaborative projects that make a real difference to adding value and strengthen our competitive advantage
- Identify and support businesses aspiring to grow in NZ and beyond, grounding them in Southland
- Provide easier access to new business opportunities in emerging industries which would be further amplified through establishment of other regional clusters.

Please share invitation with Southland engineering and manufacturing businesses, support agencies and service businesses. We look forward to welcoming you all.
