ICT

New Zealand is a world-leader in applied technology. For a small country, we have a surprising array of innovative ICT companies. We’ve also got an enviable record for speedily adopting new technology, with internet, mobile phone and electronic transfer usage rates among the highest in the world.

Multimedia is one of New Zealand’s most exciting emerging industries. Both filming and post-production of 'The Lord of The Rings' was completed in New Zealand. The trilogy’s legendary special effects were the work of local companies Weta Workshop and Weta Digital. We have an international reputation as innovative and flexible telecommunications and electronics suppliers, and are world leaders in a number of market sectors, including GPS and radio communications.

With all of this going on, it’s hardly surprising that information technology is one of our fastest growing export sectors – totalling an estimated NZ$1.6 billion for the 2006 financial year.
