New! EPIC NZ website launched – promoting business connections
The Office of Ethnic Affairs has launched a new website designed to connect New Zealand based migrants with businesses in order to improve international trade opportunities.
EPIC NZ : Ethnic People in Commerce NZ
The website provides a platform to connect ethnic business people and those from the wider community who are looking for specific skills, experience and contacts in particular countries or regions overseas.
By registering, businesses can offer their skills and/or see what other expertise is available – facilitating a match up of migrant’s contacts and know-how with other businesses looking to expand their markets.
The website is designed to utilise the wealth of skills and experience that migrants to New Zealand have gained from working in their home countries.
The knowledge of local customs, language and contacts can offer significant value to New Zealand based businesses looking to trade overseas. Migrant business people can also benefit from new connections and opportunities.
