Regional Partnership

ARE YOU LOOKING TO SIGNIFICANTLY GROW YOUR BUSINESS?


Bay of Plenty Regional Partnership has been created to be the first point of contact for businesses wishing to access government funded business assistance. The primary aim of this new initiative is to support those businesses that have the aspiration, opportunity and ability to considerably grow their business capability.

The scheme is a result of a joint initiative to provide support to Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) funded by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) and the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MSI) which has seen the establishment of 14 regions nationally.
