Building India–New Zealand Business Connections
5–6 October 2026 | Auckland and Hamilton, New Zealand
The visit of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) business delegation to New Zealand brought Indian exporters and New Zealand businesses together for focused business-to-business engagement in Auckland and Hamilton.
The programme provided opportunities to explore potential trade relationships, exchange industry knowledge and discuss commercial opportunities across a range of sectors. The Consulate General of India in Auckland facilitated the delegation’s B2B engagements in association with the Auckland and Waikato business chambers.
The delegation’s programme included B2B meetings in Auckland on 5 October and Hamilton on 6 October 2026. The Auckland engagement brought together more than 60 businesses, while approximately 35 businesses participated in Hamilton.
Discussions covered a diverse range of sectors, including:
The meetings provided a platform for Indian exporters and New Zealand businesses to discuss market requirements, identify potential partners and explore areas for future commercial engagement.
On the evening of 5 October, INZCCI hosted a networking reception at the Consulate General of India in Auckland for members of the visiting FIEO delegation and representatives of the India–New Zealand business community.
The reception provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on market opportunities, discuss potential business linkages and strengthen connections between Indian exporters and New Zealand businesses.
INZCCI also facilitated an interactive round-table discussion involving members of its Board, sector leaders and representatives of the visiting delegation.
The discussion provided an opportunity to exchange views on the New Zealand business environment, sector-specific opportunities, market requirements and potential areas for collaboration. It reinforced the importance of building informed business relationships and connecting exporters with relevant industry networks when exploring a new market.
These engagements reflect INZCCI’s focus on creating practical platforms for businesses to connect, exchange knowledge and explore trade and investment opportunities between India and New Zealand.
As the India–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement enters into force, business-to-business engagement is an important part of translating the broader trade relationship into practical commercial opportunities.
Delegations such as the FIEO visit help businesses better understand each other’s markets, establish contacts and explore possible pathways for future collaboration.
INZCCI will continue to engage with businesses, industry bodies, government agencies and institutional partners to support meaningful connections and strengthen commercial engagement between India and New Zealand.
