About
We connect international businesses and investors with high-value growth opportunities in New Zealand.
NZTE is part of a broad network of organisations focused on strengthening Māori economic development and fulfilling our obligations and opportunities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Our way of working and unique value is expressed in our Māori name: Te Taurapa Tūhono. Te Taurapa is the stern post of a traditional Māori waka, which records valuable knowledge, and stabilises and guides the craft forward. Tūhono represents connections to people and an ability to build relationships.
Our customers
We have two sets of customers: export customers and investment customers.
Export customers are companies growing from New Zealand.
Investment customers are the companies, sectors and regions we work with to develop investment opportunities, and the investors with whom we match these opportunities
