Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
NZTE provides intensive support to a selected group of 'Focus' customers, including international market advisers, in-market introductions, and co-funding towards specific international growth activities. Co-funding is negotiated per customer rather than published as a standard grant amount.

Deadline: Open all year — Not an open grant. NZTE selects customers based on export potential and scale; businesses can register interest through the NZTE website or the Regional Business Partner Network.
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Moderate — a form and supporting documents.
