We are pleased to announce the return of our annual Ethnic Xchange business symposium. Ethnic Xchange 25: Going for Growth – Expanding Ethnic Enterprises (EX25) is New Zealand’s premier business symposium focused on ethnic entrepreneurs, innovators, businesses, and the markets they are connected to.
EX25 is a platform to discover new information, get inspiration and form connections to support business interests and growth. It recognises that the success of the ethnic business community leads to shared prosperity and sustainable development for all New Zealanders.
This year’s event will be held at the Cordis hotel in Auckland on 14 November.
Ethnic Xchange aligns with the government's Going for Growth strategy and builds on the success of our inaugural business symposium in 2024. This year’s programme is designed to support the growth of ethnic entrepreneurs, innovators and businesses by focusing on global trade and connections, innovation, AI, and investment.
Over the past three years, we have held several engagements and events exploring the barriers and challenges Ethnic Communities experience in business and employment. We share insights from these engagements with our government partners, and work with them to address some of the issues.
We look forward to continuing these discussions with New Zealand’s business community and, together, addressing challenges and barriers so everyone in New Zealand can thrive.
