INTRODUCTION • Welcome & Thank you! • Key Objectives: • Comment on the development of the broader bioeconomy since the original Biotechnology Taskforce was convened in 2002; • Define a vision of what a sustainable and prosperous bioeconomy in New Zealand would look like in 2015; • Identify areas of competitive advantage and significant economic gain for New Zealand; and • Develop recommendations, which will enable New Zealand to achieve the identified vision, including immediate, medium and long-term recommendations.
OUTCOMES • A definitive report on the importance of the bioeconomy to New Zealand’s future economic prosperity • Clear recommendations for the short, medium & long term as to how New Zealand can capture maximum benefit from the bioeconomy • A clear foundation for NZBIO to proactively undertake policy and advocacy initiatives over the next 5 years
THE TASKFORCE • In 2002 the former Labour-led Government released the Growth Innovation Framework • Three key areas of high growth potential were identified: • Information & Communications Technology • Creative Industries • Biotechnology • The 2002 Taskforce was convened to identify strategies for building New Zealand’s biotechnology industry • The resulting framework had six key areas of focus: • People • Funding • Institutions • Infrastructure • Regulations • Global Participation
LOOKING FORWARD • Since 2002 there has been a lot of activity by various organisations to deliver on taskforce recommendations • In order to move the NZ bioeconomy forward a new strategy, building on the established foundations, needs to be established to guide future programmes & projects • This is a key outcome expected of the 2009 Bioeconomy Summit
