Diversifying into Latin America has been part of our business programmes since last year. We ran a very successful 8-week programme in 2022 and a series of interactive webinars during the first half of 2023.

We were delighted to have the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s Trade Commissioners for Latin America as guest speakers for our opening session last year to give us the latest on what it takes to do business in Latin America focusing on COVID-19 and its impact in the region. Steve Jones, Regional Director gave us an overall picture and then we had the opportunity to hear with more details, the overview and trends in Mexico, Brazil, and Chile.

This year, as part of our DILA webinar series, we are hosting them again to give us an update on what businesses looking into LatAm should consider when thinking about this region as a possible export market for their product.

Accompanying Steve Jones, and the Trade Commissioners from Mexico (Rhianon Berry), Brazil (Jacqueline Nakamura), and Chile (Sara Reyes), we will also hear from Philipp Grunert Collins, NZTE Market Manager in Latin America, and Elvira Martinez, Country Manager in Colombia
