The Waikato is well placed to support a national economic recovery:
Four sectors feature strongly in our 2019 GDP contribution and 2016-2019 growth and have proven to respond well post the Global Financial Crisis and Christchurch Earthquakes.
Three broad sectors take a predominant focus as we look towards our recovery:
- Primary Industries
- Manufacturing
- Construction
In supporting business recovery a number of cross-cutting themes will require business to adjust. Effort and focus must look to:
- Education and Training
- Technology and Innovation
- Infrastructure
