Kiwi opportunities ahead 🇳🇿🥝

New Zealand is a trusted partner in global trade and innovation, recognized for its leadership in agriculture — which makes up 28% of its exports — as well as sustainability and technology. The Beehive State and the Land of the Kiwis share more than mountain landscapes; both are hubs of innovation where small businesses punch above their weight on the global stage.

Join us on Monday, September 22, for a luncheon with Her Excellency Rosemary Banks, New Zealand’s ambassador to the U.S. We’re convening business leaders to gain insights into this dynamic market, ahead of our governor-led trade mission to New Zealand and Australia this October.    

This event is hosted in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and the Salt Lake Chamber.
