The Productivity Commission wants more done to help New Zealand’s most productive companies - especially the top-performing Māori firms.
Commissioner Ganesh Nana says Māori frontier firms have many of the characteristics needed to innovate, grow and support improved wellbeing, and they have higher rates of innovation and R&D than many of their mainstream peers.
