Foreign direct investment

Foreign direct investment is critical to New Zealand’s economic growth. When managed well, it benefits our country and our communities.

The New Zealand Government is committed to attracting high-quality investors to not only attract capital, but also to harness their expertise and global networks to help grow New Zealand businesses and deliver greater economic impact.

Foreign investment helps accelerate the growth of New Zealand businesses, creates employment opportunities, and improves the lives of families across the country. Key sectors of focus for FDI include Renewable Energy, Advanced Transportation (including space), Cleantech, and Aquaculture.
