Stability, Innovation, and Strategic Connectivity
Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) offer some of the world’s most business-friendly environments, consistently ranking in the top 10 for ease of doing business (World Bank, 2023).
Australia’s $1.7 trillion economy is underpinned by financial services, mining, agribusiness, and healthcare, while New Zealand has gained global recognition for its innovation in agritech, biotech, and sustainability solutions. Both countries enjoy strong rule of law, transparent regulatory systems, high digital readiness, and close trade ties with Asia, making them attractive entry points to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market, especially for firms in high-value services, technology, and sustainable production.
