Inside the New Zealand India Entrepreneurship Initiative
Hear from some of the 2026 delegates from India's agribusiness sector and the people they engaged with on the ground.
Ten entrepreneurs and agribusiness leaders visited New Zealand in June to learn about the country's agribusiness sector and make local connections. India is one of New Zealand's most significant and fast-growing economic partners, and the Foundation's NZ India Entrepreneurship Initiative (NZIEI) looks to help strengthen this relationship. Their 10 days in New Zealand showed an eagerness to engage on both sides. Although the two countries are very different, many of the delegates and their New Zealand counterparts saw opportunities for increased collaboration.
