The companies also gain by employing smart, ambitious young people to help advance their research and development projects.
'This is just one part of the government's programme to build a more competitive and productive economy,” says Todd.
Students with science, technology, engineering, design, or business qualifications are being helped to advance their skills and understanding of commercial research and development within New Zealand companies.
'There are nine future innovators who will benefit from research and development Student Experience Grants in the Bay of Plenty for 2015/16,” adds Todd.
More than 200 future innovators and 126 hi-tech companies around the country will be able to benefit from up to $1.5 million in research and development student grants, which is being made available through Callaghan Innovation.

Now that is what eh Bay needs to get some industry going here, if only the Council can be made to stay well away from it so as it can then flourish and grow.
