Enterprise Dunedin – DCC’s Economic Development Agency
Enterprise Dunedin is Dunedin City Council’s economic development and destination marketing agency.
Our purpose is to work on behalf of Dunedin residents to facilitate the city’s economic development, so they can enjoy a great quality of life in one of the world’s great small cities.
We do this through leading and supporting initiatives that create a sustainable environment where business and entrepreneurial activity can thrive.
Our priorities and activities align with Dunedin’s Economic Development Strategy, which was developed in collaboration with our partners (who together form the Grow Dunedin Partners), and to Dunedin City Council’s commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi through its partnership with mana whenua.
Our work centres on building and maintaining positive and productive relationships with multiple audiences and stakeholders - and we do this through a mix of marketing, and communication and engagement activities.
These activities comprise three core focus areas - attracting, connecting, and leading:
Attracting - we market Dunedin as a destination for visitors, businesses, students, filmmakers
and others.
Connecting - we connect people with the information, expertise and resources needed to make
informed decisions, and to successfully visit or do business in Dunedin
Leading - we work with our partners to lead projects and initiatives that help develop Dunedin’s economy.
Collectively, our activities contribute to the Economic Development Strategy themes:
Business Vitality, Alliances for Innovation, A Hub for Skills, and Talent, Linkages Beyond Our Borders, and A Compelling Destination.
