It creates jobs, boosts productivity, and fosters innovation, enabling local businesses to scale globally. FDI supports the development of infrastructure and enhances export capacity, offering New Zealand brands the opportunity to reach international markets and compete on a global scale. By integrating local industries into global value chains, FDI strengthens trade relationships and positions New Zealand as a leader in high-quality, sustainable products and services.

Resilient energy infrastructure is essential for advancing New Zealand’s economy while protecting the environment, enhancing sustainability, and fostering a more human-centric society. Expanding renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, and geothermal ensures a clean, reliable power supply to support the growth of data centres, IoT, and smart technologies. Grid modernisation, including smart grids and energy storage systems, promotes efficiency, balances supply and demand, and integrates distributed energy sources, reducing environmental impact. Developing hydrogen and bioenergy solutions diversifies the energy mix while powering sustainable industries.

These initiatives not only advance technology but also prioritise sustainability by reducing emissions and preserving natural resources. Investments in resilient energy systems create equitable access to innovation, empower regional communities, and humanise society by prioritising quality of life and environmental stewardship. This approach aligns with New Zealand’s vision of a thriving, future-ready economy that balances technological progress with social and environmental responsibility.
