When it comes to the expertise required to succeed in the clean energy economy, New Zealand is already ahead of the pack, the mindset required is a perfect match for our cultural DNA and our abundant natural resources.



As a Nation we know we are good at innovation; creating in our garden shed and taking products to the world. We are a people who innovate, solve and succeed in overcoming challenges. Investment New Zealand says we have Sixty of the world’s leading clean economy companies innovating, developing and commercializing clean technologies and climate change solutions right here, right now in New Zealand.



Investments in clean energy technologies resisted the global financial crisis better than any other sector, because the principle drivers that propelled those investments were still at work – climate change, energy security, and fossil fuel depletion (UNEP, 2009).

Already 70% of all of our electricity needs are met by renewable sources. The world’s largest geothermal turbine is in the ground at Kauwerau and generating electricity right now.
