Welcome to the Economic Development Agencies of New Zealand
EDANZ is the 'national voice' of Economic Development Agencies (EDAs). As the professional organization for EDAs, EDANZ has 13 key regional members who make up the Board and over 50 EDAs that work in smaller areas. This means EDANZ represents over 60 EDAs around the country. In addition, we have an associate membership base of other agencies and organisations which have an interest in economic development in New Zealand. As a result, EDANZ can tap into tremendous amounts of knowledge and practical expertise in the economic field.
The vision of EDANZ is "that Economic Development Agencies are seen as the primary mechanism for delivering economic development solutions in New Zealand and that economic development is a priority focus for local and central government investment."
