A soft-landing programme for businesses relocating or expanding to Christchurch. Get workspace, local guidance and industry connections. Register your interest.
What is the Christchurch Business Landing Pad?
Tailored support to explore, establish and grow your business in Christchurch.
Moving into a new market can be complex. Finding the right connections, understanding local opportunities, securing workspace, and navigating a new business environment all take time.
The Christchurch Business Landing Pad, delivered by ChristchurchNZ, is a soft-landing programme designed to help innovative businesses explore opportunities, establish a presence, and accelerate growth in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Rather than navigating a new market alone, you'll have access to local expertise, practical support and introductions to the people and organisations that can help accelerate your journey.
Whether you're considering relocating, expanding into New Zealand, or establishing your first presence in Christchurch, we'll help you land with confidence.
Dedicated local guidance
Gain access to ChristchurchNZ's investment and business growth specialists. We'll help you understand the local market, identify opportunities, navigate the innovation ecosystem, and connect with the resources that matter most to your business.
Flexible workspace
Get established quickly with access to workspace through participating co-working and innovation partners. Whether you're exploring the market or building an initial team, we'll help identify a workspace that aligns with your business needs.
Strategic introductions
We connect businesses with industry leaders, researchers, investors, professional service providers, government agencies, talent networks and innovation partners across Christchurch and Canterbury.
One point of contact
From your first enquiry through to establishing a permanent presence, we'll help connect you with the right people, organisations and opportunities.
Who is the programme for?
The Christchurch Business Landing Pad is designed for ambitious businesses that are considering Christchurch as a location for growth, investment or expansion.

- High-growth New Zealand businesses considering relocation or expansion.
- International companies entering the New Zealand market.
- Businesses seeking research, innovation or commercial partnerships.
