Economic Growth Without Borders

People and businesses across our region don’t operate within district lines or city limits – and neither do we. Access, opportunity, and flexibility are what attract people here and encourage long-term investment.

That’s why effective economic development demands a regional, boundaryless approach. We speak with one clear, unified voice – grounded in local insight and shaped by shared priorities. Our team comprises 12 equal partners: 11 Territorial Authorities and Waikato Regional Council. Each with a seat at the table, and an equal voice.

• We are a highly connected regional economic development alliance, with local experts embedded in the communities they represent.

• Our focus areas are shaped by on-the-ground knowledge, informed by the strengths and challenges of each subregion.

We believe a rising tide lifts all boats – and we’re here to navigate that journey on behalf of the region as a whole.
