Preface

Recent exposure given to the government’s Growth and Innovation Framework has reinforced the need for detailed statistics on research and development activity. Research and development is an important factor in promoting economic growth, and in developing a more dynamic New Zealand economy capable of competing successfully on the international stage. This report presents a statistical picture of the state of research and development activity in New Zealand.

The information in this report was collected in the Research and Development Survey (R&D 2002) conducted in August 2002. R&D 2002 was jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Research, Science & Technology and Statistics New Zealand.

R&D 2002 collected information on government, business and university spending on research and development. Initial results from the survey were released in May 2003. This report contains more detailed information from the survey.

Statistics New Zealand is grateful for the cooperation of the enterprises that participated in R&D 2002.
