Through the Business Assist - Nelson Tasman Business Trust we offered in 2023:
- 200+ Free & confidential business consultations were held in person or online to support startups, as well as existing businesses and organisations in our region.
- Around 70 mentees were matched to experienced mentors, who have been offering guidance, being a sounding board, challenging their thinking, and providing them with an independent and fresh perspective throughout the year.
- Regular monthly educational and business networking events were held in person from Nelson through Stoke to Mapua to inspire our local business community with interesting and relevant presentations and opportunities to connect.

We would like to acknowledge our fantastic partners and sponsors, and also our Board of Trustees without who our work couldn’t be possible.
