WELLINGTON - New Zealand will make a new investment in the digital technologies sector with the aim of increasing skills development and encouraging local companies to market their talents globally.

The government will allocate NZ$20 million over four years from this week's budget, Minister for the Digital Economy David Clark said in a statement Monday in Wellington.

"Through this new funding, the SaaS Community can build its momentum further and expand its network," Mr Clark said."It will also support the delivery of short courses for digital skills development." A report from the OECD highlighted a weak pipeline of advanced information technology skills while Wellington-based game developer Pikpok this year opened a studio in Colombia to tap talent there that isn't available at home.
