A number of New Zealand companies have developed international
reputations for flexibility and cost effectiveness, achieved by
using short-run production cycles to supply high-value niches
internationally.
Innovative design, advanced technology and a focus on
research and development have led to an increasing demand for our
produced goods and services.
New Zealand's marine industry sets the benchmark for high
performance when it comes to superyacht and launch boat-building
technology, especially around composites and design, refits, sails,
spars, electronics, technology, software and systems.
There is also significant capability in the workboat and
commercial new-build and refit sectors. This industry is forecasted
to more than double exports by 2020.
Similarly, our aviation industry has a reputation for
innovation, with new and niche aircraft designs, an active aircraft
manufacturing industry, as well as in the areas of new
materials and technologies.
