Connecting New Zealand to global ideas, experts & emerging opportunities.
Growth services that accelerate trade and innovation.
The global economic landscape is evolving rapidly with emerging regions, new centres of influence, and transformative ideas redefining what’s possible. The most powerful opportunities are unlocked through partnerships where shared insight, diverse expertise, and trusted connections fuel innovation, investment, and trade.
Having operated globally since its inception in 2018, Ghost Dynamics has deepened its focus on partnerships and engagements in the Indo-Pacific, regions where global trade, AI, emerging technologies, and digital citizen infrastructure are advancing at pace. This focus allows us to understand how global power and innovation are shifting - and to help our clients lead in that change.
From early-stage innovators to Iwi-led ventures and public agencies, we help New Zealand’s future-focused organisations connect with the world’s sharpest thinking, critical networks, and most dynamic opportunities. We combine partnerships with emergent thinking to drive innovation, investment, and long-term impact.
Our services
Partnering with you to navigate what’s next - bringing clarity, confidence, and pace.

01
Strategic Foresight & Executive Insight
Anticipate what’s next. Lead with clarity.
In a world defined by complexity and constant change, strategic foresight is no longer a luxury, it's a baseline requirement for those seeking to make the most relevant and resilient choices. It equips organisations to respond decisively, make faster and better informed decisions, and reduce the risk of costly missteps in unfamiliar or evolving contexts.
We work with executives, boards, and public leaders to bring their organisation’s future into sharper focus - equipping them with region and sector-specific intelligence, early signals, and emerging patterns that inform strategy before the market does. We work closely with trusted local partners in the regions we focus to ensure insights are grounded, context aware, and practical, not lost in translation. Our approach helps decision-makers understand the dynamics at play, align around what’s next, and develop strategies that are responsive, practical, and ready to execute.
Our Foresight Services Include:
- Global Trends & Market Trajectories
Clear-eyed analysis of where the world is heading, the global dynamics at play, and how it intersects with your strategic priorities. - Sector Specific Briefings
Tailored insights that zoom in on what’s changing in your domain, what’s influencing those changes, what the future possibilities might be and how global players are already responding to these possibilities - from AI to energy to digital infrastructure. - Scenario Planning & Decision Support
Practical tools and facilitated sessions that help you stress-test assumptions, align stakeholders, and make confident, future fit choices. - Custom Intelligence Reports
Concise, action ready intelligence crafted to inform leadership conversations and investment planning.

02
Immersive Insights and Expert-led Events
Practical, outcome focussed catalysts for growth.
Our events program brings together New Zealand’s most forward thinking leaders with global experts, innovators, and disciplinary pioneers for a high impact, one day experience.
Each session is curated to enable acceleration and direct access to emerging ideas, critical foresight, and powerful peer connections - helping leaders sharpen their outlook, stress test assumptions, and build relationships that matter across sectors and borders.

03
Regional Trade and Innovation Bridges
A two way platform for building enduring partnerships, scaling innovation, and unlocking shared opportunity.
When it’s time to go beyond insight and into action, our regional bridges help you connect with clarity, credibility, and speed. Built in partnership with the sharpest and most trusted operators on the ground, these programs provide leaders with the relationships, infrastructure, and in-market intelligence needed to move decisively.
- Trade and Export Support
We work with exporters who are ready to go beyond research and into action. Whether you’re launching into a market, meeting regulatory requirements, or building relationships with local partners, we help you do it in a way that’s practical, efficient, and aligned to how things actually work on the ground. - Innovation and Partnership
We help innovators in clean tech, deep tech, and advanced technologies build strong, reciprocal partnerships with global organisations. That might mean sharing IP, testing new systems in-market, or scaling something together. We also support global teams looking to work with New Zealand - utilising our stable, well regulated environment as a testbed or launch region. It’s about making it easier to collaborate, grow, and build things that last.
