Rt.Hon Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Infrastructure Minister Hon.Chris Bishop have announced a global investment summit in March, set to attract around 100 high-profile investors, business leaders, and construction companies to New Zealand. This event, happening in Auckland around the 13th and 14th of March, is part of the Government’s strategy to foster economic growth, enhance incomes, and create opportunities for New Zealanders.
Prime Minister Luxon emphasized the need to embrace growth opportunities through foreign investment and highlighted the summit as a platform to showcase partnership opportunities across New Zealand’s economy. Cabinet Ministers will share the Government’s plans over two days, focusing on initiatives such as the establishment of Invest NZ and Fast-Track projects to cut through bureaucratic red tape. Recent visa changes aim to attract international investors aligned with New Zealand’s growth agenda.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop underscored the importance of foreign investment and Government partnerships in addressing New Zealand’s infrastructure gap. The summit will present upcoming investment opportunities, policy changes, and showcase the Māori economy’s growth potential.
This summit is part of the Government’s first Quarterly Action Plan for 2025, which includes upgrading visa settings, implementing smarter regulations for the agriculture sector, and reshaping planning rules to facilitate progress. The Government has already achieved several priorities, including welcoming digital nomads and advancing AI-driven public services.
