The aim of the Export Forum is to bring together Central Otago business people with a global focus to think and talk growth. It is an initiative of the Central Otago District Council with support from the Regional Business Partner programme and sbsbank Rural. There is generally no charge to participate and the Forum is open to everyone with an interest in doing business overseas.
