Learn how demographics\, customer behaviour\, industry clusters\, competition\, and distribution channels can differ dramatically from one market to another—and how these insights can shape a smarter expansion plan. \nDuring this interactive session\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nIdentify the right U.S. city based on your target customer\, market demand\, and competitive landscape.\nEvaluate major metropolitan areas using a practical city scorecard covering customer demographics\, purchasing power\, cultural fit\, industry concentration\, channel access\, and cost of entry.\nValidate your product or service in a targeted market before committing to a broader rollout.\nDevelop a practical 30-60-90 day market entry plan\, including identifying partners\, pilot opportunities\, and early customers.\n\nWhether you’re just beginning to explore the U.S. market or refining your expansion strategy\, this workshop will provide actionable insights and practical tools to help you make informed decisions and accelerate your growth.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”217798″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” el_class=”rounded-image pattern-right” margin_bottom=”280″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”booknow” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”1%”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Zealand businesses earlier this year\, one finding stood out clearly: understanding India’s individual states remains one of the biggest barriers to doing business successfully.\n\nThat’s why we created India Unlocked—a state-by-state event series designed to help New Zealand businesses better understand where the opportunities are\, what makes each state unique\, and how to engage successfully. For the fourth episode of this series\, we focus on Uttar Pradesh.\n\n\nUttar Pradesh is now India’s third-largest state economy\, at roughly US$410 billion\, anchored by a six-node defence manufacturing corridor\, and by a new gateway: the Noida International Airport at Jewar\, which opened this year. Add Kanpur’s leather trade and Noida’s electronics base\, and it’s an economy diversifying faster than its reputation suggests.\n\nHear directly from a panel including India’s Consul General in Auckland and Auckland-based leaders with firsthand experience in Uttar Pradesh\, on the state’s business environment\, key industries and practical advice for New Zealand businesses looking to expand there.\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”

Whatever your politics\, he is one of the most direct and energetic figures in New Zealand politics\, and ACT is likely to play a big part in the shape of the next Parliament. He’ll be joined by James Christmas\, a barrister and former senior adviser to Sir John Key and Sir Bill English\, who is standing for ACT in Tāmaki. \nDavid and James will each set out ACT’s plans. Then we’ll turn it over to you. I’ll facilitate an open Q&A\, driven entirely by the audience. There’s no script and no topic off-limits.

one finding stood out clearly: understanding India’s individual states remains one of the biggest barriers to invest and trade in the diverse market that is India.\n\nThat’s why we created India Unlocked—a state-by-state event series designed to help New Zealand businesses better understand where the investment opportunities are\, what makes each state unique\, and how to engage successfully. This time\, we bring the series into the room for Episode 3.\n\n\nOdisha and Andhra Pradesh are two of India’s fastest-growing state economies\, combining strong natural resources with rapidly expanding infrastructure and investment. Home to major ports\, competitive mineral and pharmaceutical industries\, and among India’s most investment-friendly regulatory environments\, the two states offer strong opportunities across mining\, pharmaceuticals\, chemicals\, food processing\, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.\n\nHear directly from a panel that includes India’s Consul General in Auckland and Auckland-based business and community leaders with firsthand experience in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh\, sharing insights into each state’s business environment\, key industries\, investment ecosystem and practical advice for New Zealand businesses looking to establish partnerships or expand into the market.\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line”

But are we viewing our future through an overly pessimistic lens\, or are there genuine reasons for concern? \nWe’re pleased to welcome David Farrar\, New Zealand blogger and pollster\, as our keynote speaker\, alongside a panel of senior industry leaders: \nAndrew Fairgray | Chief Business Officer\, 2degrees\nJarrod Kerr | Chief Economist\, Kiwibank\nCecilia Robinson | Founder and Co-CEO\, Tend Health \nTogether\, they will examine the attitudes shaping New Zealand’s economic narrative and discuss questions including: \n\nAre we too down on ourselves\, particularly in Auckland?\nWhat factors are driving relatively low business and consumer confidence?\nIs there a compelling case for greater economic optimism?\nWhy are some regions performing more strongly than others\, and what can Auckland learn from them?\nWhat will it take to shift sentiment and unlock growth?\n\nThis engaging breakfast discussion will provide valuable insights into the forces influencing confidence\, investment\, and economic performance\, while exploring what lies ahead for Auckland and New Zealand. As always\, attendees will have the opportunity to put their questions directly to the panel during an interactive Q&A session. \nJoin us for a morning of informed debate\, fresh perspectives\, and meaningful connections.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”

Most of it isn’t built for businesses like yours. \nThat’s why we’ve teamed up with Arcanum AI and AWS to put on something different. Real examples from real Auckland SMBs\, not theory and not hype. \nWhy AI matters for SMBs right now\nAI is levelling the playing field. You don’t need deep pockets or a big tech team to compete anymore. Sales teams using AI are growing revenue faster than those that aren’t\, and early movers are already pulling ahead on win rates. \nKey benefits for SMBs\nBusinesses already on this are seeing it pay off: less time on manual work\, sharper marketing without a big team\, stronger sales through better forecasting\, and often lower running costs too. \nBut here’s the catch. Only 3% of SMBs have fully built AI into their strategy\, while 34% are still piloting. Most are stuck behind two barriers: data privacy and security concerns\, and a lack of in-house skills. \nThat’s exactly why events like this matter. 57% of SMBs rely on partners and providers for guidance on AI\, rather than going it alone. The ones who act early will be best placed for growth\, which is why SMBs are now putting an average of 17.4% of their IT budget into generative AI\, climbing to near 25% once it’s fully embedded. \nCome along\, ask questions\, compare notes\, and let us help you work out your next move. \nPanel Discussion: \nNick Roberts – CEO\, Momentum Consulting Group  \n“We believe the future of recruitment is human insight backed by intelligent technology. Numa is exactly that.  It amplifies our team\, sharpens our thinking\, and helps us be Greater Together for our clients and candidates.” \nTroy Ironside – Managing Director\, Home and Office Painting Limited \n“Numa is helping us take the PAIN out of PAINting. It’s like having our entire office staff in one package—helping us stay organised\, save time\, and keep the business running smoothly.” \nRik Flowerday – Director\, Flowerday Homes \n“Find the opportunity\, make it better\, and build it to last.” \nAsa Cox – Founder & CEO – askNuma AI \nEvent Details\nDate: Thursday 20th August 2026\nTime: 7:00am – 9:30am\nLocation: Jade Room\, Cordis Hotel[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”211688″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” margin_bottom=”390″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”216975″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”right” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nNick Roberts \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nCEO\, Momentum \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Nick Roberts has spent his career at the crossroads of people\, technology\, and commercial performance and he’s brought all three together at Momentum Consulting Group\, one of New Zealand’s most established recruitment firms. \nAs CEO\, Nick is obsessed with one idea: that the future of recruitment belongs to those who can blend genuine human insight with the best technology on the planet.
