The centre where connections are made
NZ International Business Centre is where more than potential can be realised.
Located beside the Village Green at the heart of Fieldays, the New Zealand International Business Centre is a meeting place for local and international businesses looking to grow their connections in New Zealand and around the world.
With seating and tables for informal meetings, and barista coffee on hand, the centre is a relaxed and professional space for exhibitors and business visitors to connect with each other or take a breather from exploring the show. International guests registered with Fieldays will have access throughout the event.
The centre is a fulcrum for New Zealand businesses to connect with a team of support agencies at Fieldays to offer advice, expertise and new connections for long-term success: • New Zealand Trade and Enterprise – Te Taurapa Tūhono (NZTE), New Zealand’s international business development agency, will have a team available at the centre throughout Fieldays’ four days, providing expertise and connections for New Zealand exporters.
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade – Manatū Aorere (MFAT) staff will have information on New Zealand’s trade agreements and MFAT export services offered to New Zealand businesses.
• Callaghan Innovation, New Zealand’s innovation agency, will be delivering group tours showcasing New Zealand innovation and expertise to local and international visitors.
• Treasury’s New Zealand Export Credit will also be on site to advise on their range of trade credit insurance and financial guarantees, supporting export deals and business growth.
• Other New Zealand Inc agencies supporting the centre include the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and the New Zealand Story Group.
