Learn more about the Awards below:
There are few higher accolades for our country’s companies than the New Zealand International Business Awards.
They recognise the innovative, the brave and the successful. Those companies that have helped grow and transform the New Zealand economy with exceptional export success in international markets. Companies that have created jobs, re-invested profits or developed new skills and technologies. Above all, those that have helped us achieve a shared ambition for a thriving New Zealand economy.
The Awards celebrate New Zealand business success in the world and recognise professional excellence and innovative practice.
The programme reflects the changing ways New Zealand companies do business internationally and provides benefits to all firms who participate.
Entering the New Zealand International Business Awards is an opportunity for an organisation’s contribution to growing New Zealand’s economy to be acknowledged.
The awards provide an opportunity to:
- benchmark performance, evaluate your business and articulate your messages,
- build capability, review and refine your international strategies and address future plans,
- promote success and tell your story,
- network with other business leaders,
- boost staff morale and foster team spirit.
As an entrant you will receive two months complimentary access to Frost & Sullivan’s research (valued at $24,000).
Each special category winner will receive $50,000 from the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MSI) to fund external research and development expertise into their business.
Last but not least, the chance to win the Judges' Supreme award and a $100,000 prize to further internationalisation.
Past winners, such as Pumpkin Patch (winner of the 2010 Judges Supreme Awards) acknowledge that the awards provide recognition for all those involved in their business journey so far, from staff to shareholders to customers.
Furthermore, winning helps to open doors in new markets and create further opportunities for international success.
Not only does entering highlight your achievements and reward your commitment, it can also help your company reflect on past triumphs and hone your strategies for further growth. As with all opportunities for success, it’s worth the effort.
