Why invest in cleantech

High global demand, strong support

Global demand for cleantech is fuelled by urgent efforts to combat climate change. Many multinationals are already benefiting from New Zealand-designed hardware and software, bolting it into existing processes to make them more efficient or reduce carbon emissions.

The ideal launch pad for global growth

New Zealand is a business-friendly gateway close to high-growth markets in the Asia-Pacific region and is one of the world’s most open market economies with 15 free trade agreements in place.

Thriving ecosystem

Research and development continues to grow within a thriving ecosystem generating world-class intellectual property. We have a culture of environmental stewardship and sustainable growth.

Our expanding cleantech industry encompasses bioenergy, future fuels, waste-to-value and innovative solutions that reduce negative environmental impacts or increase efficiency.

As industry shifts to decarbonise, greenfield opportunities are emerging, and early-stage companies are developing high-value solutions with significant global reach.

Unlock NZ's bioenergy potential

Bioenergy already plays a foundational role in New Zealand’s energy landscape, contributing over 9% of the country’s energy supply.

However, significant untapped potential exists, thanks to our abundant natural resources and reliable feedstock from extensive forestry and agricultural assets.
