The recently announced $20 million government investment
in economic diversification for the Queenstown Lakes
District will help amplify extensive local work already
underway, Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC)’s
Economic Development Unit (EDU) has said.
The
announcement coincides with the EDU releasing its draft
diversification framework, which is designed to align
current and future projects driven by local business leaders
and entrepreneurs.
The framework will eventually form
part of a district-wide diversification plan.
The
framework [diagram attached], explains how start-ups and
existing businesses relate with, and connect to, larger
industries and corporates within the local economic
diversification ecosystem.
