Haere Mai and welcome to the New Zealand Asia Information Service (NZAIS), a freely available resource for researchers focusing on business information and engagement between New Zealand and Asia.

NZAIS is a joint project between NZAI and The University of Auckland Library. It has four main features:

1. A searchable database of articles and other materials about New Zealand's business engagement with Asia
2. Links to other databases offering complementary information about Asia, in several languages
3. RSS feeds featuring news about NZ business engagement with Asia, with auto-translators
4. A directory of Asian expertise and researchers at The University of Auckland

NZAIS website is intended for use by academic staff and students, organisations involved with business, trading, social and cultural exchange with Asia or other researchers for the purposes of reference, research and analysis.

The research database links key information sources to New Zealand's past and present engagement with Asian countries into one resource that researchers and analysts can use as an organised access point to begin their research.
