The Foundation's business programme provides New Zealand businesspeople with opportunities to build the knowledge and connections needed to make the most of what Asia has to offer. We do this by connecting New Zealand businesspeople with Asian markets, industries and networks, while supporting the next generation of business leaders to become Asia-capable.
Our business programme leads sector-specific delegations to Asia and brings business leaders from the region to speak at events in New Zealand. It also facilitates internships with leading businesses and organisations across Asia for tertiary-level students and recent graduates.
Business internships provide tertiary students and recent graduates with opportunities to intern at top companies throughout Asia.
The Asia Business and Economic Thought Leaders Fund helps deepen understanding of business and economic trends in Asia by sponsoring thought leaders from Asia to speak at New Zealand conferences.
The Foundation's business programme leads delegations of New Zealand business leaders to countries in Asia on sector-specific visits (for example F&B, tech, health and wellness) to learn about the local business environment and make industry connections.
These opportunities are widely promoted through various channels. Sign up to our newsletter (in the footer of this page) to keep up with the latest opportunities.
