In June 2020, the New Zealand government announced the start of free trade negotiations with the United Kingdom. As one of the first countries to negotiate a trade deal with a post-Brexit UK, the New Zealand government has indicated a commitment to delivering an inclusive bilateral agreement which provides significant benefits to both countries.

Join our experts as they share their insights and perspectives on the free trade talks, the impacts on innovation incentives, what trade patterns might look like under an FTA, and what it all means for New Zealand exporters.
