MiDeer China Market Expansion Training is a professional, modular executive training solution tailored for New Zealand businesses navigating the China market. All training programs are standalone and optional—they can be selected and delivered independently based on your company’s specific stage of China market development and training needs, with no mandatory linkage to our consulting services. This flexible approach empowers your leadership team to build targeted China market expertise at every critical phase of expansion.
Program 1: China Market Feasibility & Strategic Clarity Executive Program
This program is designed for founders, CEOs, board members, and cross-border business readiness leads at New Zealand companies across food, technology, manufacturing, healthcare and other sectors that are in the initial stage of exploring China market opportunities. It targets core decision-makers responsible for evaluating the viability of China market expansion and setting preliminary strategic directions.
The training objective is to help executive teams break through China market information barriers, accurately assess the alignment between their business model, products or services and China market demand, master foundational methods for analysing macro market trends, industry track opportunities and core cross-border risks. Participants will gain the ability to independently develop preliminary strategic priorities and actionable next steps for their company’s China market exploration, laying a clear cognitive foundation for subsequent decision-making.
The training adopts a blended approach of market insight sharing, real cross-border case dissection and enterprise-specific strategic consultation. It includes a pre-course targeted needs questionnaire to frame discussion focus, an interactive in-session analysis of NZ-China cross-border success and failure cases, and one-on-one business fit workshops with our senior advisors. A customized post-program summary with key insights and actionable guidance is also provided to ensure learning is translated into clear strategic thinking for the business.

It targets leadership teams responsible for designing and executing the company’s China market entry plan.
The training objective is to equip participants with the core logic and practical methodologies for developing a de-risked China market entry strategy. Attendees will master how to validate ideal customer profiles, conduct industry-specific competitor deep dives, map NZ-China cross-border regulatory compliance pathways, and design tailored entry channel and cultural positioning strategies. Participants will also gain the ability to lead or contribute to creating a detailed, execution-ready 90-day China market entry roadmap, and identify and mitigate key strategic and compliance risks during the entry phase.

It targets leadership teams directly responsible for cross-border partner engagement, negotiation and pilot project execution.
The training objective is to build participants’ capabilities in end-to-end cross-border partnership management for the China market. Attendees will master how to identify, pre-validate and evaluate high-quality Chinese local partners (distributors, strategic allies, retail channels, etc.), develop effective partner evaluation and due diligence frameworks, and master core cross-border negotiation techniques and key clause design for partnership agreements. Participants will also gain the ability to design and manage low-risk pilot projects in China, and understand how to access and leverage NZ and China government cross-border support grants (e.g., NZTE) to support market activation.
