TESTIMONIALS

Scaling internationally is super-difficult, there are lots of traps…ExportNZ can help guide people from falling off any of those cliffs along the way. I can’t see any other way to do it. It is essential

There’s so much you can read in books & learn in a classroom, but there are plenty of us who have been through the school of hard knocks and I think sharing war stories and really practical tips and tricks is fun, and you can see it really makes a difference and so that’s rewarding for everyone involved.

That knowledge sharing is invaluable. You are meeting not only with a number of people in similar situations to you, but also a number of people who have done it before…these are some of the things we faced, these are the things you need to consider. It’s hugely valuable for these reasons.
