Kia ora Thomas,
Welcome to our final Export News for 2018.
With Christmas two weeks away, it's down to the wire and fingers crossed for millions of online shoppers (and the businesses scrambling to ship their orders). But there's a literal world of digital sales potential beyond the end-of-year festive rush. Check out our new suite of e-commerce resources to help you get a slice of the action in markets around the world in 2019.
Elsewhere, we've got a brand-new guide to Canada's tech market, both a springboard to the US and an opportunity in its own right; an essential guide to preparing for Brexit impacts; a closer look at the potential for New Zealand exporters in South Korea, as CPTPP removes some traditional obstacles to success; pitching resources for Europe; and a quick look ahead at the possible impacts of privacy law changes for business in the new year.
Plus get in quick this week to join a young business leaders' visit to Malaysia and Singapore, get in early for the next round of NZTE Export Essentials Workshops resuming in February, and get inspired with a round-up of industry news and some of our most popular stories from the year that was.
All the best for the holiday season, and we'll be back in 2019 with more news and resources to help you take on the world.
Māuriora – enjoy! |

A new Privacy Bill is before the Justice Select Committee, with a report due back in March – and the final law is likely to mean changes to business handling of customer data. Here's a preview of what may be involved, courtesy of law firm Anthony Harper. |
