ExportNZ ASB Hawke’s Bay Export Awards 2023

The Hawke’s Bay Export Awards is an annual event, that recognises and celebrates the achievements of companies, based within the Hawke’s Bay region, in exporting goods and services to overseas markets. They are a flagship event for ExportNZ and supported by various government agencies and private sector partners.

These awards promote and raise awareness of the benefits of exporting for Hawke’s Bay businesses, as well as showcasing successful exporting companies and their contribution to the local economy. They also provide an opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing among exporters and other business professionals.  It’s been a tough few months for our region so why not get your team together and celebrate what you have achieved so far and recognise your team’s hard mahi and commitment to the business going.
