"Closing the gap with Australia": Game developer in favour of NZ First's plan to boost rebate
Our gaming sector is continuing to flourish, and one game developer believes there's no reason it can't keep growing with investment.
New Zealand First wants to lift funding for the Centre of Digital Excellence by 2028 and to improve the studio rebate.
That includes increasing the claimable amount from $3 million to $10 million.
RocketWerkz Games Chief Operating Officer Stephen Knightly told Mike Hosking it's closing the gap that Australia continues to have over our industry.
He says Australia is fighting for tech jobs and creative jobs and believes New Zealand's naive if it doesn't fight back.
