The SB2 Initiative aims to accelerate international success for organizations through three key areas: driving economic growth, enhancing collaboration, and accelerating international success. It establishes the Partnership for Global Growth (PGG), a non-profit association, to support these goals. The PGG will be governed by member partners and help coordinate initiatives between countries and regions. SB2 International Ventures will operate as the for-profit arm of the PGG and establish in-market accelerator centers to deliver programs and services that help organizations expand internationally. The initiative focuses initially on connections between New Zealand and Canada but aims to replicate the model elsewhere.
