What is Local Connect?

Wellington isn’t just New Zealand’s capital – it’s a vibrant hub where creativity, culture, and community intersect. Our compact city is known for its innovative spirit, artistic flair, and love of good coffee. But what truly sets us apart is our tight-knit community of passionate locals and small businesses.

In a world that’s increasingly digital, we believe in the power of real connections. Wellington Connect is about celebrating and strengthening the bonds between our city’s entrepreneurs, artists, tech innovators, and the people they serve.

By supporting local, we’re not just getting great products and services. We’re fostering a Wellington that’s resilient, diverse, and bursting with creativity. We’re preserving the quirky cafes, independent bookstores, and hidden gem boutiques that make our city special.

Wellington Connect is your gateway to discovering and supporting these local treasures. It’s about creating a thriving ecosystem where ideas can flourish, businesses can grow, and our community can become even stronger.

So whether you’re a long-time Wellingtonian or a recent arrival, join us in celebrating and uplifting our local businesses. Together, we can ensure Wellington remains the coolest little capital in the world – a place where innovation meets community, and where every flat white or craft beer shared is an investment in our collective future.

Let’s connect, support local, and keep Wellington weird and wonderful. After all, that’s the Wellington way.
