Members of the national Innovation Partnership are planning how they can help Dunedin residents and organisations make the most of faster internet speed.

They held a meeting in the city this week, to discuss ideas with various business leaders and stakeholders.

The Innovation Partnership is a group of organisations and individuals dedicated to New Zealand becoming a world-leader in using the internet.

It focuses on driving business growth, public sector excellence, and educational achievement.

Chairman Murray Sherwin says Dunedin's digital strategy shows the city is well placed to take advantage of gigabit internet speed and the Innovation Partnership will help where it can.
