- Economy — Research on New Zealand’s economic and technological development in the wider context of social, cultural and economic wellbeing. Priority areas include research on economic performance, productivity, knowledge production and exploitation, innovation systems, skills, indigenous innovation, the economy, and sustainable development of technologies.
Tools for Allocating Funding
Research, science and technology supported under the Health and Society Fund must in each case fit one of the following Tools:
- Science-led contestable funding — investing through a contestable process in RS&T and related activities.
- Long-term non-contestable funding — using non-contestable processes to invest in RS&T and related activities.
HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURING AND SERVICES RESEARCH FUND
The objective of the High Value Manufacturing and Services Research Fund is to diversify New Zealand’s economy by undertaking research, science and technology that will enable the development of new technologies, novel materials and new products, processes and services resulting in the growth of existing, new and emerging industries.
The Fund will support RS&T that is intended to be of benefit to New Zealand.
It is also expected that the Fund will support relevant research that contributes to unlocking the innovation potential of Māori knowledge, resources and people as outlined in the Vision Mātauranga policy framework. International collaboration will be supported where this is relevant and of benefit to the objectives of the Fund.
Indicators of Success
If successful, the High Value Manufacturing and Services Research Fund will generate and support the uptake of RS&T that will contribute to:
- increasing the number of New Zealand businesses which become established global exporters by leveraging intellectual property, including (but not limited to) that derived from New Zealand research;
- substantially increasing exports of high-technology goods and services from New Zealand; and
- enhancing sector performance from the use of new knowledge or technologies.
The above indicators will be measured by the Ministry of Science and Innovation at a sector level and will provide some indication of the success of the Fund through regular evaluations.
Nature of the Fund
The High Value Manufacturing and Services Research Fund will achieve its objectives by supporting research, science and technology in the following four areas:
