On July 27 2009, the Auckland ICT joined the NZICT Group as a Community of Interest.

The purpose is to enable Auckland ICT and the NZICT Group to work together to develop the ICT industry and its participants, with the goal to enhance the country’s competitiveness for the betterment of all New Zealanders, and the growth of the ICT industry.

 The objectives are to:

• Create new opportunities for our respective members to collaborate at Members’ meetings and other purpose created events.
• Provide an opportunity for the Auckland ICT and its Members to provide input into the NZICT industry policy platform, including the identification of new areas for development.
• Provide an opportunity for NZICT to consult with Auckland ICT in its policy development, including the areas of skills and education; innovation and productivity; broadband infrastructure development; government procurement; regulations (including the Copyright Act and patent legislation); and industry standards.
• Provide the basis for ongoing dialogue for developing other mutual opportunities including sponsorship, programmes of work and promotions.
