Ethnic Xchange 2025
14 November 2025
The Ministry for Ethnic Communities’ annual Ethnic Xchange symposium is New Zealand’s premier business event focused on ethnic entrepreneurs, innovators, businesses and the markets they are connected to.
Ethnic Xchange 25: Going for Growth – Expanding Ethnic Enterprises (EX25) is the Ministry for Ethnic Communities’ second annual business symposium. Aligning with the Government’s Going for Growth agenda, the event is designed to support the progression of ethnic entrepreneurs, innovators and businesses by focusing on global trade and connections, innovation, AI and investment.
EX25 will focus on practical strategies to overcome barriers to economic growth and enhance New Zealand’s global competitiveness. Participants will explore business trends, discover tools to help them succeed, and learn about government initiatives in trade, investment and innovation.
Hear from and connect with business leaders, global innovators, experts, international delegates, senior Government ministers and officials. Discover ethnic entrepreneurs and innovators and find out how they are contributing to New Zealand’s economy. EX25 also provides unique networking opportunities with hundreds of New Zealanders who share a vision for empowered economic growth.
Early bird tickets are available until 10 October. Register today to secure your spot. Last year’s event sold out, and tickets are limited, so get in quick!
