IDC New Zealand, on behalf of the HiGrowth Project, NZ Trade & Enterprise, and Microsoft NZ, just released a comprehensive profile of New Zealand's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Sector. The report provides a spreadsheet of searchable resources for companies to locate funding sources and ICT Industry Bodies. It's full of interesting insights as well. For example, did you know that:
- Total revenue for 2006 is expect to grow to $11,963 million from $9,495 million in 2004
- Half the industry resides in Auckland
- 73% of ICT companies - large and small - are exporting
- That 7.5% of the industry creates 60% of its revenue
- That around a third of ICT companies don't have a written business plan
- And a third don't have an advisory board or a board of directors - including not just small companies but some very large enterprises
- We are a truly national industry with significant activity in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago
