Councils, CCOs, EDAs
We have worked with Councils since our founding in 2014. We also work with a range of associated council organisations like Tourism and Education Promotion offices and Economic Development Agencies.
Schools
In 2018 we partnered with our first school to develop a sister-school relationship. We have since gone on to develop specific services for schools to assist them with their relationships and attracting international students.
Businesses
Since 2015 we have worked with Business Associations (for example: KNZBC and the UMFHA), providing communication, market analysis and intelligence services. In 2019 we started working with individual exporters.
Whether you are a local council, development organisation, school or business, Asia (most likely China) will feature somewhere in your plans. However, for many it is a region which appears too difficult to seriously consider.
China
China is New Zealand's largest trading partner and source of international students, as well as our second largest tourism market.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an important gateway to China. Many New Zealand companies chose to start their expansion to Asia in Hong Kong.
Taiwan
Taiwan is an important trading partner for New Zealand. Many Taiwanese migrants have settled here.
Japan
Japan and New Zealand have enjoyed a long and mutually rewarding relationship.There are many strong links between the two countries.
South Korea
South Korea is becoming an increasingly important partner for New Zealand - including in trade, international students, and tourists.
New Zealand
New Zealand is a multicultural country - many migrants from greater China, Japan and Korea have chosen to settle and study in New Zealand.

“I have been told on many occasions that I a terrible sales person when it comes to selling my own services. Rather than overselling myself, bragging and generally being boastful I would much rather have a conversation about what your needs are and what Eastern Bridge can do to assist. If you like what you hear I can introduce some of my existing (and relevant) clients. I feel this type of reference is far more credible than bluster and a collection of irrelevant testimonials.”
