NZ Inc Strategies are a unified government approach to setting priorities and coordinating operations related to New Zealand’s key economic partners.

The strategies aim to strengthen our economic, political and security relationships with countries and regions, encourage people to people links and two-way investment.

They also seek to promote efficiency and effectiveness across the government agencies that work in, and with, other countries. These agencies are known collectively as "NZ Inc".

What do the strategies focus on?

Boosting New Zealand’s growth

The Government is taking a strategic look at New Zealand’s future economic growth and engagement with key countries and regions. Strategies consider longer term trends (10-15 year projection) and then set ambitious, five-year goals and the steps and actions required to achieve them.

Read more about the economic goals of the strategies.

Targeting key markets

The strategies target key markets where New Zealand has existing or emerging relationships and there is potential for significant growth. India is the first NZ Inc strategy, with strategies for other countries and regions under way.

Engaging and supporting business

New Zealand business succeeding offshore is central to the strategies’ goals for economic growth.

Coordinating government efforts

Many New Zealand public sector agencies work on international issues. A key aim of the NZ Inc Strategies is greater coordination and collaboration across agencies for an effective and efficient public service.

Building on people-to-people connections

Connections between people are at the heart of success and growth. The NZ Inc Strategies draw on cultural, political and community links that exist between people in New Zealand and offshore.
