New Zealand’s dramatic landscape and unique blend of Maori, Pacific Island, Asian and European cultures provide the inspiration for our creative industries.

The success of ‘Lord of the Rings’ has alerted the world to our burgeoning film, visual effects, multimedia and post-production industries. We also pride ourselves on developing cutting-edge industrial designs, that are ergonomic and environmentally- friendly. A distinct New Zealand style is also captured in fashion labels such as Trelise Cooper, Karen Walker, Nom D and World.

We are an open and innovative society—always on the look-out for new ideas and ways of doing things. And it’s this combination of factors that makes New Zealand’s creative industries so refreshingly different.
