Growth and Innovation Advisory Board
The Government established the Growth and Innovation Advisory Board (GIAB) in May 2002 to provide it with independent perspectives on how the Government can advance its growth and innovation programme.
GIAB's focus is on helping determine which policies and practices are likely to work best to support the growth of New Zealand’s business sector, within the context of an inclusive economy (given New Zealand's unique competitive positioning, our history, and our culture), and how they can be implemented, for the greatest possible benefit.
The Board brokers links between Government and the business sector, to progress the mutual development of strategic growth initiatives. It meets bi-monthly as a full Board, and works through Action Groups on particular focus areas. Its approach is pragmatic and facilitative.
