As the economic development agency for Manawatū, we wear many hats - often working quietly behind the scenes to bring big ideas and bold initiatives to life. While our strategic work is central to what we do (you can explore that here), there’s another side to CEDA that’s just as impactful: the hands-on projects, events, partnerships, and campaigns that help our region thrive.

This portfolio is where you’ll find those tangible examples - proof of the mahi we’re doing every day to drive growth, innovation, and resilience across Manawatū. From supporting local businesses and startups to backing community events and sector development, this is where the cool stuff lives.
