Roadshow: How to win international government business

Did you know that Government purchasing makes up approximately 15 percent of GDP world-wide, and that international governments are looking for the types of products and services New Zealand offers? Selling to international governments is a key area of opportunity for New Zealand exporters, and this roadshow will tell you exactly what you need to know to take advantage of this lucrative, yet challenging, opportunity.  The free roadshow features an impressive lineup of speakers who will cover the key markets of opportunity for New Zealand businesses – the USA, Australia, the UK and the EU.

This seminar will provide you with:

• What you need to know – how big is the opportunity? What sectors of opportunity within each country? What is the advantage of being a New Zealand business? What are the complexities?
• What you need to do – how can you best equip your businesses with the right tools/resources to pursue the opportunity? How can you overcome prospective hurdles?
• Tips to help you accelerate your entry and growth in the market

Speakers include Hon Steven Joyce (Auckland only), Export New Zealand, Diana Brock-Negri NZTE Europe, Peter Chew, KPMG, Robert Cunningham NZTE Washington, Federal sales expert Bill Satori Washington, Stephen Blair, NZTE Melbourne, and Don Lowe and Jeremy Pollard from Shipley Asia-Pacific.

This is a major opportunity to get expert opinions on the complexities and opportunities of these markets and also compare and contrast the differences between them.

Speakers will be complemented by exporters sharing their own experience and insights including Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, Catalyst IT, Vega Industries and Hamilton Jet.

There will be a Q&A with the panel and breakout sessions for each region, plus we’ll also provide you with handy ‘how-to’ guides for each market.

This is a free event.
