The SB2 InitiativeThe Partnership for Global Growth

Best way to Predict the Future, is to Create it!

SB2 facilitates International Opportunities and de-risks the International

Experience for selected organisations with interests in the Science and High

Tech sectors.

Our unique business model expedites this process of market entry and

expansion through growing and economically strong Regions; this accelerates

company success in those markets.

We have developed and strategically positioned a strong partnership of

appropriate business professionals, advisors, resources and government

representatives to ensure in-market support and a safe base for our Clients.

Facilitation of enduring economic value will be supported by the establishment

and ongoing activities of a Centre for Excellence in International

Commercialisation and Entrepreneurship.

About SB2 International Ventures

SB2 International Ventures Limited provides in-market facilities and services that

accelerate the International Readiness and Success of organizations looking to

achieve real productivity gains

These are the SB2 Expressway programs, extending and complementing Government

programmes.

This facilitation of enduring economic value will be supported by the establishment and

ongoing activities of a Centre for Excellence in International Commercialisation and

Entrepreneurship.

Through exhaustive research and hence by design, we are a Private Sector firm,

responding to the dynamic changes in today’s global economic environment confronting

Exporters, with a call to action for strong Public Sector support through investment and

progressive policy and regulations to help increase an Exporter's fundamental

competitiveness and economic opportunity through an innovative Partnership for

Global Growth.

The current focus is on establishing the SB2 Expressway between New Zealand, as a

gateway to Australasia, and Canada, as a gateway to the North American Market, with a

view to replicate the model to other jurisdictions in the future.
