To maintain and improve our living standards New Zealand needs economic growth – and the wealth that growth delivers.

As the Government’s national economic development agency, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s role is to support economic development by helping to grow the number and size of New Zealand businesses operating internationally.

NZTE also works to improve the environment for enterprise and growth in New Zealand and is proud to support the Entrepreneurs' Challenge, a programme that plays a vital part in nurturing the entrepreneurial young people who are important for New Zealand’s future economic prosperity.
