NZBio’s vision is for the growth of a prosperous New Zealand biotechnology sector.
New Zealand’s biotechnology sector is increasingly seen as exciting, innovative and a distinctive New Zealand strength. Biotechnology underpins New Zealand’s fast growing economy, and is an essential tool for maintaining and improving the environment.
NZBio’s mission is to create the environment for a prosperous New Zealand biotechnology sector.
Our role is to create the right environment for individuals and organisations to be successful. The four goals that will allow NZBio to have the greatest impact on building a prosperous biotechnology sector are:
1. Generating valuable intellectual property
Industry development requires a strong pipeline of opportunities. It is important to have sufficient research scale to be successful, with high quality intellectual property and effective technology transfer.
2. Creating a favourable operating environment for commercialisation
The industry needs an environment that supports its development. It is imperative that Government policy and strategy, particularly in the areas of investment, taxation, regulation and technology transfer, are aligned with this goal.
3. Developing business connections
To take advantage of opportunities the industry needs to be well informed and networked. NZBio’s role is to encourage the development of business connections between industry participants, and this is where the regional networks, special interest groups and our international connections play a valuable part.
4. Promoting industry development
NZBio’s role is to increase the level of understanding of biotechnology in the wider community, to build a constituency of advocates who support its development.
