Centres of Asia-Pacific Exellence

The Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence (CAPEs) collectively form a hub of intercultural expertise for New Zealanders to prepare for and find success in the diverse and vibrant Asia-Pacific region: North Asia, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Utilising university networks, and knowledge, the CAPEs deliver a range of innovative programmes, resources, and initiatives that enable New Zealanders to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Asia-Pacific, and build future-focused commercial, educational and cultural relationships in the region’s vital economies.

Whether you are a businessperson wanting to explore global opportunities, an established exporter wanting to improve international operations, or a student seeking to develop stronger language skills and cultural competence, the CAPEs are here to help you strengthen your Asia-Pacific capabilities and connections, no matter your area of interest or what stage you are at.
