Home to 9% of the world’s population and collectively the world’s fifth-largest economy, Southeast Asia is critical element of New Zealand’s prosperity. As New Zealand looks to diversify its trade and double the value of its exports over the next decade, the region presents strong potential: our exports to the region grew by 13% last year, with this growth supported by the comprehensive trade architecture in place.
The single stream, two-day conference presents a valuable opportunity to hear from leading experts on the latest international trade developments, to better understand the challenges and opportunities for New Zealand firms in rapidly evolving global markets, and to build cross-sectoral connections.
