Young Enterprise Trust manages the New Zealand entry for the Global Enterprise Challenge.

New Zealand has been participating in the event since its inception eight years ago – and we are all set to defend our winning title!

This year, 80 outstanding students who are participating in the Trust’s Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme will be competing for a place on the team to represent New Zealand.

The New Zealand programme starts on Saturday 20 June – at a welcome function hosted by the Prime Minister, Hon John Key.

NZ students will complete the Global Enterprise Challenge on Monday 22 June, and the event will conclude with a farewell function and awards ceremony on Tuesday 23 June. The New Zealand event would not be possible without the generosity and support of a family of sponsors and corporate hosts – who are acknowledged below.
