- Eleven business leaders from New Zealand’s ESG and clean technology sectors will travel to South Korea in May to explore the country’s growing sustainable solutions market and make connections.
Organised by the Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), the programme is designed to support New Zealand ESG and cleantech businesses interested in the Korean market.
The Foundation will support seven emerging business leaders to join another four business leaders for NZTE’s bespoke programme.
As one of the world’s largest manufacturers, South Korea is making significant investments in sustainability initiatives and industrial decarbonisation, building on its strengths in innovation and research and development.
This creates opportunities for New Zealand businesses that offer innovative technological solutions in the sector, says the Foundation’s director business, Nick Siu.
“We’re taking high-potential emerging business leaders and founders to help them learn about the Korean market.
“The connections they make can provide ongoing support and knowledge sharing, ultimately helping New Zealand businesses succeed in Asia.”
The New Zealand delegates are from companies working on solutions to address global sustainability challenges.
