New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (Māori: Te Taurapa Tūhono; abbreviated NZTE) is New Zealand's international business development agency that focuses on helping New Zealand businesses improve their international engagement. It is a Crown entity under the Crown Entities Act 2004.[1]
History
[edit]NZTE is a Crown entity established on 1 July 2003. It was established under the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise Act 2003, which merged Trade New Zealand and Industry New Zealand.[2] NZTE is also regulated by the Crown Entities Act 2004.[1]
In January 2025, the New Zealand Government established a new investment agency called Invest New Zealand as a unit within NZTE. The Government plans to transition Invest NZ into a separate Crown entity.[3]
