Hon STUART NASH: The Provincial Growth Fund has invested over $70 million in the Southland region, with 121 projects funded. A great example of the type of project funded is the $500,000 grant to COIN South for a three-year pilot programme to develop and foster a regional ecosystem and culture which nurtures and grows innovative, agile, and successful businesses in the Southland region. The original goal was to support 15 start-ups in the first year, but over 100 start-up founders were supported in the first year, with over 250 to date. I would also like to thank members from across the House for their strong support and staunch advocacy for PGF projects in their electorates.
