Better Exporting Seminar – Technology and Innovation

The ‘Race to Digital” and how everything changed with Covid-19

We would love to see you and members of your team at our seminar that will showcase and celebrate how three exporters embraced technology and innovation in their race to digital when everything changed post Covid-19.  Hear from Dexibit, Robotic’s Plus and Soul Machines on how they have faced new challenges in a world where international borders closed, travel became difficult and their current strategies were no longer relevant.

Seminar talking points will include:

  • Strategic responses in the face of Covid-19 to ensure accelerated growth
  • How this changed marketing plans and business models
  • Why deep research matters to New Zealand and our rapidly growing tech sector
  • Funding AGI research with global VC’s – the risks, highs, and lows around this
  • Update on current global markets and how to face different challenges in various segments and geographies

ExportNZ see incredible power in companies learning from and listening to other companies’ experiences in different markets and sectors.  Our seminars allow great opportunity to gain insight and inspiration on international growth strategies and ability to talk to like-minded individuals to exchange ideas, gain support and obtain advice.
