Business development and support
The jobs and wealth that business creates is a vital part of what makes Dunedin a great place to live. In recognition of this, the Dunedin City Council has a dedicated Economic Development Unit (EDU). We are a well-qualified team who have worked in business both in New Zealand and overseas.

Research Support Fund 'trendsetting'
We have won an award from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) for our Research Support Fund.
The Fund was entered in the 'Multi-Year Economic Development Program by organisations serving areas with populations between 50,000 and 200,000' category. EDC Chair made the comment "With the award, we laud trendsetting organisations like the Dunedin City Council Economic Development Unit for leading the charge."
The Research Support Fund helps with delivering grant funding to Dunedin City research and development teams and businesses. This is achieved by R&D practitioners using the fund to buy services aimed at lifting the quality of grant applications to reputable funding agencies. The Council has invested approximately $80,000 in this program, which has attracted $17 million to our local economy.
The award was presented at the IEDC's annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia in October 2008.
