Dealroom – New Zealand Tech Ecosystem Report, Aug 2025

The main theme of the report is the New Zealand tech ecosystem and its development by 2025.

Key findings include that New Zealand's startup ecosystem continues to deliver significant value despite its small scale. The tech sector is becoming an increasingly important contributor to the national economy, creating jobs, generating export revenue, and attracting global capital. Although funding levels remain below OECD countries, the ecosystem has grown 6.1 times since 2019, outperforming regional and global benchmarks. The success and momentum suggest that increasing venture capital and the number of VC-backed startups to global peers' levels will be transformational for New Zealand's economy.
