Profile
NZCTA Southern had another successful event, our second of the year, with the guest speaker being Kefeng Chu, Chief China Adviser at NZTE. During his presentation he updated membership on topics such as NZTE key sector movements for China, NZTE's high impact programme for China, investment with a China focus and the main lessons from the Prime Ministers recent trip. One of the positive aspects from our NZCTA meetings is the openness in the Q & A sessions and with the diverse interests in attendance, the topics discussed covered a wide range of the overall NZ-China trade relationship spectrum.
We would like to acknowledge the following successes in our region:
After a long journey and collaborative support from providers such as NZTE, ice cream maker Deep South Ice Cream has signed a multi-million dollar deal with a major Chinese restaurant chain – Big Pizza, who will be adding Deep South’s premier ice cream to their menu.
Synlait Milk are finalists in two categories in the upcoming HSBC NZCTA China Business Awards 2013.
- KPMG - Creating leverage opportunities through Chinese/NZ business for the benefit of NZ Inc.
- DLA Phillips Fox - Successful investment with China - Inward or Outward.
