ASEAN, The Rising Star
We run a series of three 3.5-hour workshops focusing on the growing markets of Southeast Asia. These workshops will equip you to tap into the expert academic knowledge of the facilitators, as well as learn from other experienced Kiwi exporters, as you discover the exciting opportunities, benefits and challenges of doing business with this region. The topics we will cover include:
- Trading environments, key aspects of cultures and how to do business in these markets
- Key insights about in-market competition
- Identifying opportunities and market entry strategies
- First-hand experiences from other Kiwi exporters
- Networking opportunities and the potential to connect to the ASEAN region through the SEA CAPE alumni network.
