2023 AmCham – DHL Express Success & Innovation Awards

Entries open for 24th AmCham – DHL Express Success & Innovation Awards for companies doing business with the USA, in conjunction with United Airlines.

The American Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce the launch of the 2023 AmCham – DHL Express Success & Innovation Awards in conjunction with United Airlines. 2023 is the twenty fourth year these awards have been held and they celebrate business achievement between New Zealand and the United States.  The US is New Zealand’s third largest trading partner with bilateral trade now worth around $20 billion – goods exports to the USA $7.8b and imports from the USA $7.8b.

To allow us greater flexibility there are no set categories for the three exporter awards. Once applications are in the judges will decide on three categories.

With United Airlines returning to flying back to NZ and post Covid, we are bringing back the Contribution to Tourism with the USA award.

As Sustainability and Climate Change are such an important issue we will select one for the finalists to receive a Commitment to sustainability/Climate Change award.

Commenting on the awards, Mark Foy, Managing Director, New Zealand & Pacific Islands, DHL Express, said “DHL Express is proud to partner with AmCham to deliver the 2023 AmCham-DHL Express Success & Innovation Awards. We know that the USA remains as one of the top exporting destinations for New Zealand businesses, who we see using ingenuity to improve business processes. Innovation and Kiwi ingenuity are at the heart of numerous Kiwi export success stories and we look forward to seeing the high calibre of this year’s finalists”.
