NZ Economic Development Minister Simon Bridges has announced the recipients of the Prime Minister’s business scholarships.

The successful applicants will be provided a unique opportunity to expand their international connections and expertise, and help grow and develop New Zealand businesses on the world stage.

“The scholarships have been awarded to 14 of New Zealand’s best up and coming executives who will now be given the opportunity to attend courses at the world’s top business schools to learn about international best practice in management and leadership,” Mr Bridges says.

“The knowledge, connections and experience the executives will gain from attending these courses will enable them to expand their companies and access to international markets. The flow-on effects for New Zealand businesses and the economy as a whole will be extremely positive.”
