This delegation will be joining a New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) led ESG/Cleantech Visit Programme to South Korea.
Companies developing or using technology to address global sustainability challenges with a strong interest in South Korea are encouraged to apply.
South Korea is a global leader in innovation with R&D totaling 4.8 percent of GDP (NZ is around 1.4 percent). With a population over 51 million, the investment in environment and sustainable industries continues to grow, with yearly investment currently sitting around 38.9 trillion won ($45 billion NZD). This offers exciting opportunities for New Zealand companies that provide technology-based solutions to sustainable challenges.
Joining the NZTE ESG/Cleantech Programme, the delegation will focus on gaining an understanding of the ESG and cleantech landscape in South Korea, including innovation, government regulation, and investment networks. There will be opportunities for delegates to introduce their solutions directly to large Korean corporates and to expand their networks with like-minded business leaders.
Dependent on the makeup of companies from this application process, a cohort of six ESG/Cleantech business leaders will be chosen and funded to attend this bespoke programme.
The final programme will be designed in partnership with NZTE around the successful delegates and their business aspirations.
Tentative dates for this programme are the 26 May to 1 June. Dates will be confirmed closer to the time.
Applications close 5pm, Wednesday 7 February 2024. Click here to apply.
