New Zealand
Innovation is central to meeting the ongoing challenge of boosting New Zealand’s productivity growth to raise income per capita. The innovation system has been shaped by the country’s features: its relative geographic remoteness, small size, demanding physical topography, and focus on exploiting natural resources. A more innovative economy requires an excellent business environment, robust steering and financing mechanisms for the public research system, and strong domestic and international networks for knowledge flows.
