  The 2024 United States Business Summit

  A new era

  Now in its third year, this one-day Summit takes place just weeks after the highly anticipated US Presidential election, a decisive moment in history that will see either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump headed to the White House.

  This timing offers an unparalleled opportunity to analyse and comprehend the immediate implications of the election results on New Zealand-United States relations.

  The Summit is a great opportunity for delegates to engage in debate and discussion that will inform the direction for New Zealand’s future with the United States, and network with senior business and political leaders.

  A CRITICAL PARTNER

  The United States Business Summit is a premier event focused on strengthening the critical relationship between New Zealand and the United States. Over the past year, bilateral trade between our two countries has continued to thrive, with the United States surpassing Australia to become New Zealand’s second-largest export market as of March 2024. This underscores the deepening economic ties.

  INSIGHTS FROM THE ELECTION

  Regardless of the outcome, the election result will bring significant shifts in US domestic and international policies, impacting areas such as trade, security, civil rights, climate change, and immigration. The Summit will provide valuable insights into how these changes might affect trade, investment and cooperation between our two nations.

  In his opening address to the Summit, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will outline how the New Zealand government views its evolving relationship with the United States and lay out strategic plans for the future.

  AN EVOLVING PARTNERSHIP

  The 2024 summit will build on the momentum of previous years, focusing on the vast potential to expand the economic partnership between the United States and New Zealand. As a key source of foreign direct investment, innovation, research, and tourism for New Zealand, the United States is a vital partner for growth. The Summit will offer businesses a platform to explore new avenues for collaboration, including in emerging sectors such as green technologies, high-value sustainable agriculture, space exploration and deep tech partnerships.

  As geopolitical shifts and evolving consumer expectations continue to reshape the global landscape, the Summit will dive deep into the impact of these changes on the United States-New Zealand relationship. It will allow business leaders and policymakers to consider how to recalibrate our approach to align with the new realities.

  This one-day Summit will provide a dynamic forum for debate and discussion, helping to shape the future direction of New Zealand’s relationship with the United States. It is a must-attend event for those looking to stay ahead in a rapidly changing world, offering unmatched opportunities to deepen connections, drive meaningful progress in the relationship, and network with senior business and political leaders.
