Welcome

To the 2026 NZCTA China Business Awards

We are thrilled to invite organizations from all sectors and sizes to showcase their success stories and achievements in the dynamic New Zealand-China business relationship.

Established in 2004, the NZCTA China Business Awards have become a hallmark of excellence, celebrating organisations and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding performance, innovation, and collaboration in their endeavours in the New Zealand – China business relationship. Whether you're a startup breaking into the Chinese or New Zealand market or a seasoned industry leader fostering bilateral trade and investment, these awards provide a platform to highlight your accomplishments and gain recognition from both the New Zealand and Chinese business communities.

Being recognised as a finalist or the winner of a China Business Award not only brings prestige and recognition but also opens doors to new opportunities for networking, collaboration, and growth.
