About NZGBA

A bridge between New Zealand and the Greater Bay Area

Founded in 2026, NZGBA was created after Kiwis identified a gap in local information, communication and practical connections across the region.

It brings community and business together, including a local network for New Zealand importers and eCommerce sellers visiting southern China, particularly around the Canton Fair.
