Airwallex launches a new grants program in New Zealand, providing a stepping stone in international expansion
Airwallex has just launched its “Global Growth Grant” in New Zealand, offering Kiwi business owners or professionals a chance to be awarded one of two $5,000 grants, to attend an international conference of their choice.
Through the grants, Airwallex is helping New Zealand entrepreneurs gain global insights, connect with international peers, and bring international business knowledge back, to grow the economy locally.
Key details:
- Two recipients will each receive $5,000 toward travel, registration and expenses.
- Applications are open now and close Monday, 30 June 2025.
- Entrants must describe in 250 words or less which global conference they’d attend and how it will benefit their business.
- Winners will be announced in July 2025.
This initiative is part of Airwallex’s broader commitment to empowering globally-minded New Zealand businesses with modern financial infrastructure. Through tools like multi-currency accounts, international payments, and borderless corporate cards, Airwallex is helping Kiwi companies streamline global operations and reduce banking friction.
Building on its recent market expansion, Airwallex has launched the Airwallex for Startups program and partnered with leading local brands including Rodd & Gunn, Tracksuit, and Auror.
The company is also growing its New Zealand team to better support high-growth sectors such as eCommerce, SaaS, and tourism – contributing to New Zealand’s goal of accelerating export-led growth.
