"I arrived with a suitcase and have left with countless new memories, friendships, skills, and ambitions," writes Gavin Yang about the three months he spent on a Foundation internship in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Gemma Dykshoorn describes her Shanghai internship at Silver Fern Farms as "a steep nine-week learning curve, but in the best way."

Late last year, the Foundation led a group of six New Zealand nutraceutical and functional food business leaders to China for a deep dive into the sector and to attend Asia’s largest nutraceutical expo, Healthplex.

In this Q&A, we speak with three of the delegates to get a taste of what the trip was like.
