About WellingtonNZ

WellingtonNZ is the Wellington Regions Economic Development Agency tasked with enhancing prosperity, vibrancy and liveability across the region

Our mission is to create a thriving region for all; with more businesses succeeding and employing more people, more people participating in and attending events and experiences, and supporting more collaboration and engagement across the region. 

Our ambition is to promote Wellington as a region to visit, live, study, work, do business and invest. Through Wellington storytelling, we intend to bring Wellington to the world and in turn, bring the world to Wellington. 

We support businesses to build capability, attracting, hosting and investing in events, running civic venues, marketing and storytelling, and destination development.

WellingtonNZ is also the owner of Creative HQ, an innovation agency that supports business founders, start-ups and corporates via incubation, acceleration and innovation programmes.

We receive funding from Wellington City Council, the Greater Wellington Regional Council, Central Government and a range of private sector partners. 

Each year our work contributes to tens of millions of dollars of economic benefit for the region.
