The Accelerating Auckland Taskforce provides the forum and ongoing mechanism for collaboration between stakeholders in the ICT sector. The governance of Accelerating Auckland is delivered through its Core Group.  This provides the means for improving alignment between tertiary delivery and demand, and increasing the performance of the ICT sector, with a view to skills development across all sectors. The key objective of the Taskforce is to ensure that the potential growth of the ICT industry, both in the Auckland region and nationwide, is not constrained by a shortage of people with the required skills.

This area contains profiles for some of Accelerating Auckland's Taskforce members.
