The merging of Software, Mobile/Internet and E-Business clusters brought together three sectors regarded by the Economic Development Trust as strategic to Wellington’s regional growth. The Wellington Regional Economic Development Trust (WREDT) supports and co-ordinates the local ICT Cluster and focuses on facilitating networking events to help build and share knowledge among members. Knowing what others are doing in the region helps local companies match the capabilities of one company to the needs of others. Local ICT companies can then find strategic partners within and across industry sectors and together, pursue opportunities in offshore markets that would not otherwise be possible. The Wellington ICT Cluster has formed several task groups of cross-functional teams who provide whole of enterprise solutions for targeted industries. The task groups include: Education, Export, Government, Health, Local Government, Mobile Solutions, Natural Hazards, Open Source, Research & Development, Security Authentication and SMEs.
