NZFIN FOOD & BEVERAGE ACCELERATOR

Powered by Rise Growth lab.

In May 2024, we launched our NZFIN Food and Beverage Accelerator designed to drive the profitable growth of small Food and Beverage businesses.

The NZFIN accelerator is a very affordable three-month program of in-depth training, personalised coaching, and access to an expert network and a supportive community – Participants create a profitable growth plan and are provided with all the tools needed for success in making the plan happen.

After two successful programmes in 2024, the next intake of SMEs for the accelerator will be on 3rd February 2025.
