DRIVING YOUR MARKET ENTRY AND GROWTH JOURNEY
Powered by People, Products and Partnerships
Aotearoa New Zealand - Land of the Long White Cloud - is home to 5.5 million people (similar to the population of Ireland) who value quality, innovation, and sustainability, and with a land area of 268 000 square kilometres similar to the UK, it’s a smart fit for companies offering well-made, responsible products.
Over 80% of New Zealand’s electricity comes from renewables, and the country is committed to net-zero by 2050. There’s strong momentum behind circular economy models, especially in packaging, agri-waste, and construction.
As a trusted, small-scale test market with high consumer standards and clear rules, New Zealand offers a powerful launchpad for growth across Asia-Pacific.
