Internationally NZTE and other government agencies are working to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the Rugby World Cup, the world’s third largest sporting event (after the Olympics and the Football World Cup).
Rugby related events will raise awareness of New Zealand prior to the cup – with a focus on encouraging key business and trade partners to travel to New Zealand for the tournament and investigate business opportunities.
NZTE is also working with regional and industry partners to showcase New Zealand’s business capability and world class industries such as food and beverage, ICT and creative, during the tournament.
How to get involved
You can tap into government-supported initiatives designed to help New Zealand businesses access opportunities around the Rugby World Cup 2011 event, including the following:
