Every year, Auckland rates as one of the five most desirable places in the world to live. Every year, Auckland's economy grows faster than New Zealand's national average. And every year the population of this region gets bigger, younger and more cosmopolitan.
Auckland is an ongoing success story and a unique world city. It really is a place like no other, with business opportunities you'll struggle to find anywhere else in the world.
Auckland is at the heart of New Zealand's food and beverage manufacturing sector, characterised by innovation and adherence to the highest standards. It's one of the region's largest industries, employing 21 per cent of New Zealand's food manufacturing workforce in well over 1,000 food and beverage companies. Every aspect of the supply chain is represented from sourcing and product development to delivery to consumers.
Over 55,000 people work in Auckland's creative industries. Not only is it New Zealand's creative hub, Auckland ties with Sydney for the greatest concentration of creative employment measured in the southern hemisphere. Auckland is the driver of New Zealand's exceptional global creative reputation.
Auckland's marine sector is long-established and has been well regarded worldwide among those in the know for more than a century. But it burst upon the world scene in the 21st Century with Team New Zealand's America's Cup performances.
The marine sector is New Zealand's largest non-food manufacturing industry, employing over 10,000 people in around 1000 companies. Turnover exceeds $2 billion, including around $700 million in exports.
Auckland's health technology sector benefits from a powerful combination of specialists in different fields. These include innovative bioscience, food technology and ICT companies, plus a strong science infrastructure that supports skilled graduates, research contracts and licensing opportunities.
Auckland bioscience companies have attracted around $300 million in international investment in the past five years, and it's not hard to see why. Half of New Zealand's core bioscience companies are based in Auckland, tapping the region's excellent research institutes, universities, talented scientists and entrepreneurs. http://www.investauckland.com/sector_bioscience.html
