Kia ora Tom,
Welcome to NZTE's Export News for November.
In this edition, we're celebrating the achievements of this year's New Zealand International Business Awards winners, revealed at last week's gala dinner in Auckland. Read on below to discover these extraordinary businesses – then check out our highlights reel for all the action and excitement as it happened on the night.
There's also something to celebrate for exporters targeting markets covered by the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) – it'll take effect on 30 December, unlocking better trade access for our businesses in eleven countries, including four that now have a trade agreement in place with New Zealand for the first time. Find out more in our update below.
Elsewhere, we share five reasons to consider doing business in the Gulf (in the wake of our Gulf Opportunities Showcase late last month), two brand-new guides to doing business in Mexico and Colombia, a bumper crop of great events around the country, and a selection of industry news and success stories.
Māuriora – enjoy! |
