Celebrating New Zealand’s Business Innovators, Founders and Creators

The New Zealand Business Hall of Fame, established in 1994 by Young Enterprise, honours individuals who have played a crucial role in New Zealand's economic and social progress. Young Enterprise's mission is to cultivate students' business aptitude and equip them with the skills required to be successful business leaders and entrepreneurs. This initiative also improves teachers' capacity to inspire curious, entrepreneurial students and contribute to a more prosperous New Zealand.

During an annual black-tie gala dinner, Laureates are welcomed into the Hall, each with a unique tale of enterprise, hard work and triumph. Many of them have also been generous in their contributions to their respective communities.
