Resources & Research Investing Buying from New Zealand


Do you have a new business idea? New Zealand Trade and Enterprise encourages new business ideas and ventures providing the following start-up and support based assistance.

Start-ups
biz assists you to identify organisations, people, training programmes and resources to help start-up and develop your business.

Incubators
A Business Incubator is a facility designed to assist businesses to become established and profitable during their start-up phase. It does this by providing premises, business advice and services, networking and mentoring to its tenants. It generally employs a full time manager and houses all its start up companies (tenants) in one location.

NZTE assists incubators to set up rather than individual companies entering incubators.

Enterprise Training
The Enterprise Training programme assists

  • people wanting to start a business
  • owners and operators of SMEs to grow their businesses and plan for the future.

Business & Enterprise Culture
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise encourages New Zealanders toward business success. We want our national culture to value and foster the entrepreneurial spirit.  See examples of the NZTE supported activities that foster New Zealand’s entrepreneurial culture.

Foundation for Research Science and Technology
Our focus is on business and market development.  But we also work alongside the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology to ensure that businesses can get the support they need to grow. The Foundation runs a range of schemes that can help businesses build capability in research and development and/or exploit research and development opportunities.
