How CDC Can Help
Canterbury Development Corporation’s role is to stimulate economic growth through significant interventions, particularly focused on export-ready companies and sectors.
As an economic development agency, CDC defines economic development as "improving standards of living and quality of life by generating economic wealth".
About CDC
To make this happen, we are leading the development of a new economic strategy for Christchurch City and working with other agencies on a Canterbury strategy (Strategies). CDC brings together the finest expertise to guide and support Canterbury’s rising stars trading in our key industry sectors (Fast Track). We are working with priority sectors that will make our economy grow (Industry Sectors Overview). We’re looking at our infrastructure to identify and mitigate any barriers to growth. We know who is interested in investing in our rising stars. And if you’ve got a good idea, we know how to convert it into a commercial reality and get it on to the world stage.
We pride ourselves as a region that can hothouse New Zealand’s next star companies and will continue to have a strongly international export focus.
Talk to us and together we’ll generate the wealth to make Christchurch & Canterbury a world class regional economy.
