New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (; abbreviated NZTE) is New Zealand's international business development agency that focuses on helping New Zealand businesses improve their international engagement. It is considered a Crown agent under the Crown Entities Act 2004.

History

NZTE is a Crown agent that was established on 1 July 2003 under the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise Act 2003, which merged Trade New Zealand and Industry New Zealand. NZTE is also regulated by the Crown Entities Act 2004.

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.

Functions and mandate

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) is New Zealand's international business development agency. Its role is to support New Zealand’s economic growth by helping New Zealand companies to boost their international trade and engagement.

As of 2025, NZTE is one of the two government agencies, alongside the newly-established Invest New Zealand agency, tasked with boosting economic growth through international trade and investment. The NZTE's mandate is to focus on promoting export growth by facilitating trade and ensuring that New Zealand companies have access to the international market with the necessary support.
