The Metro Project Action Plan promotes action by transforming the region’s economic development strategy into a bold agenda and action plan for Auckland. The Action Plan is based on five platforms for action:
In 2011 Auckland will be the hub of the Rugby World Cup. The region will come alive like never before as it hosts the final at a revamped Eden Park.
This international business mentoring and peer support programme will be introduced in New Zealand for the first time in mid 2008. The two-year pilot in Auckland offers owners and managers of small and medium sized businesses a unique opportunity to receive comprehensive training and mentoring alongside like-minded companies.
Export Year 2007 is all about encouraging New Zealand businesses to better understand the benefits of selling products and services offshore. The Auckland Export Group has coordinated a number of regional initiatives during 2007.
Auckland’s renowned marine industry is set to grow considerably, especially with the new marine industrial precinct based in Hobsonville providing comprehensive infrastructure for the transport, launching and berthing of superyachts and other craft.
The Screen Production Project will further boost Auckland's popularity as a screen production location with a new state of the art sound stage, a high-end training programme and an international marketing campaign promoting Auckland's and New Zealand’s screen production capability.
