The ICEHOUSE is a partnership of The University of Auckland Business School with BNZ, Boston Consulting Group, Ernst & Young, HP, Microsoft, and Telecom.

The partners believe that New Zealand has great potential but at times lacks the capability to grow businesses from their early stages into substantial international businesses. The ICEHOUSE reflects the partners' commitment to create an organisation that will empower and assist New Zealand businesses to succeed in international markets.

The partners strongly believe that taking New Zealand businesses international is critical to the success of the New Zealand economy.

The partners support The ICEHOUSE financially and with the commitment of time, effort and knowledge.

The ICEHOUSE was founded in 2001 by the University of Auckland Business School.
