Industry
New Zealand has a strong technology industry, many of which have applications in aerospace, communications or scientific fields. The committee aims to create an 'industry forum' where New Zealand enterprises or international organisations with NZ-based offices or teams can participate and work through common issues.
The NZSF aims to increase the profile and success of the NZ space industry through:
- Unification of diverse space-related industries
- Identification of the current economic profile of NZ space, and its projected growth
- Improve the awareness and credibility of the space industry, to support investment
- Investigate appropriate self-regulation - to ensure safety and consumers are protected, and avoid damaging industry reputation
- Highlight internship and job opportunities within the industry for STEM subject graduates
Government
To succeed in the long-term, New Zealand needs commitment from the government to provide investment, strategic direction and policy development. This committee is tasked with helping produce principles and a framework that the NZ Government can adopt or extend.
This needs reworking – is not right on a public page
The NZSF hopes to improve the long term competitiveness, safety and accessibility of New Zealand aerospace by:
- Developing relationships with the government for communication, resource requests, policy advisement and clarification
- Advocating the case for NZ space industry, research, governance & leadership
- Establishing legitimacy through national and foreign agency recognition
- Promoting and engaging in international agency collaboration
- Developing relationships with other organisations that have similar government related goals and initiatives
