New Zealand visits Singapore and Sydney in a Data Centre study tour

Investment Manager Alex Bunce, hosted a Data Centre study tour, connecting New Zealand companies with the off-shore data centre industry in Singapore and Sydney.

Study tours are an important part of the work Invest New Zealand does, supporting the growth and development of key sectors, enabling connections, exploring new markets, understanding New Zealand's unique value proposition in these markets and learn from those at the heart of the industry we are supporting.

Presently, the globe grapples with an energy dilemma spurred by heightened demand due to post -pandemic economic resurgence, the push for electrification, and sustainability imperatives.

New Zealand has advanced digital infrastructure that supports technology adoption and day to day business operations. Our abundant renewable energy supply, stable business and political environment, and growing digital economy is enticing major cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Google to establish large-scale data centres here.

NZ ranks in the top 20 countries worldwide for network coverage, 5G deployment and internet speeds.

New Zealand’s favourable climate conditions and access to sustainable energy places the country in a strong export position to service demand from Asia Pacific, particularly from Singapore and Australia.

Did you know NZ is 1 of 14 countries outside the EU to receive an adequacy decision in relation to providing adequate levels of data protection. An adequacy decision is that personal data can flow from the EU and the European Economic Area countries without any further safeguard being necessary.

We also have a strong digital skills pipeline with over 98,500 people working in the tech sector in NZ.

Thank you to the cohort who joined us in representing New Zealand, Datacom, Datagrid New Zealand, Simply Energy, your participation, enthusiasm, and knowledge were instrumental in making this a success.
