ESTIMATED ECONOMIC IMPACT
With the establishment of a centralised health precinct creating a much closer connection between research, testing and commercialisation, Christchurch accelerates the R&D process.
Global Growth Potential
Having developed a range of approaches to increase our resilience post earthquake, Christchurch is positioned well internationally to lead in resilience, whether its natural disaster or climate related.
The consolidated health precinct will accelerate research into analytics and machine learning, virtual healthcare, bio-metrics & wearables and insurance tech.
