KEY POINTS:
A New Zealand Concept Centre in Shanghai will lend a helping hand to businesses looking to enter the Chinese market , Trade Minister Phil Goff says.
Mr Goff today said the new Shanghai centre, operated by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), would open in October.
It would provide a function and event space, a demonstration kitchen, meeting rooms and desk spaces for New Zealand businesses looking to market their goods.
"By enabling Kiwi exporters to get in on the ground and increase visibility, it will help New Zealand businesses maximise the benefits of the Free Trade Agreement with China," he said.
"The concept centre will be invaluable for New Zealand companies both looking to explore the market and build connections."
Mr Goff said NZTE planned to open five more China offices in the next four years.
