Action Asia Business

The Asia:NZ Action Asia Business Grants programme provides support for organisations involved in projects that seek to increase New Zealanders’ capacity to do business in Asia.

Asia:NZ provides grants of up to $10,000 for a wide range of business projects including research, internships, and support for conferences and seminars.

Who can apply?

Business support organisations (e.g. Chambers of Commerce, regional development agencies), business networking organisations, tertiary institutions, and Asia:NZ Young Leaders Network members undertaking business internships are eligible to apply. Grants will be given to applicants that can demonstrate their ability to plan and undertake activities effectively, and can accurately account for how the funds will be spent.

More information on eligibility criteria is available in the guidelines section of our application form - see below.

When to apply?

There is no set deadline; applications can be submitted throughout the year. Proposals should reach Asia:NZ at least 60 calendar days before the grant is required. Applicants will be notified of the status of their proposal within 30 calendar days.

How to apply?

Ensure you have carefully read the guidelines section of the form before applying.

Interactive PDF application form

In order to make the application process easier for you, we have introduced a new interactive PDF application form.

• The advantage of this form is that  you can fill it in electronically (on your computer), save the form to your computer, and then either email it through or print a copy to post to us.

• Type into each field of the form, then use the Tab key to move to the next field.

• Important: When you fill in the form electronically, do not type any further if you see a vertical scroller or a + sign – any text going below the visible borders of a box will not show when the form is printed.

• Once you have finished typing, go to File, choose Save As and save the form on your computer. You can save each form under a unique name and reuse information already entered.

• To use this interactive form and to be able to save changes, you need the latest version of Adobe Reader:
