About the
entrepreneurship programme


Our entrepreneurship programme supports emerging New Zealand entrepreneurs to build connections and facilitate business relationships in Asia, and supports Asian entrepreneurs to build connections in New Zealand.

What do we do?

We get entrepreneurs on the ground in Asia to learn about the country they are visiting, receive industry-specific briefings from experts, visit businesses and meet people working in their sector.

 We host inspirational events where participants can learn what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and thrive in Asia.

Taking Kiwi entrepreneurs to Asia

We take groups of entrepreneurs and business leaders from New Zealand to Asia on industry-specific trips to build their knowledge and confidence in Asia and develop connections.

We do this because in the long-term we need New Zealand entrepreneurs to understand the region. We want Kiwis returning home and sharing what they learnt with colleagues, mentors and others in their sector.

Bringing entrepreneurs to New Zealand

We bring groups of entrepreneurs and business leaders from North Asia and Southeast Asia to New Zealand on industry-specific trips to build their knowledge and confidence in New Zealand and develop connections.

In New Zealand they meet with industry experts, attend workshops and events, visit businesses and get to know the country.

Our vision is an interconnected global network of entrepreneurs sharing, learning and supporting each other in their business success.
