Kia ora Max,
Nau mai ki tēnei Pānui Tuku Rawa o Rāwāhi. Welcome to this week's Export News.
In this week's bumper edition, we share insights into the intricacies of doing business in Malaysia and Japan, fresh from two recent trade missions to these countries – and we’ve matched them with our handy market guides for each.
Elsewhere, NZTE Regional Director for North America, Claudia Batten, talks with NBR's Andrew Patterson about some of the lessons New Zealand tech entrepreneurs should consider adopting, while NZTE's Programme Leader for e-Commerce in China, Scott Li, explains the impact of 'new retail'.
Plus with Fieldays just a few weeks away, we've got the lowdown on the awesome events designed to help bring New Zealand agritech companies and international buyers together at Fieldays.
And to round it all off, we have some exciting events, a healthy dose of Kiwi architectural and e-bike inspiration - and our usual selection of export updates and careers with NZTE.
Enjoy! |
