Kiwibank
Official Partner of The Duke of Edinburgh Cup New Zealand 2026
Supporting the Young Enterprise Scheme is a natural fit for Kiwibank. We have always backed ambitious Kiwi businesses - from start-ups to those competing on the world stage - and early exposure to creating, planning and running a business builds the confidence and capability that strengthens Aotearoa’s economic backbone.
Partnering with The Duke of Edinburgh Cup in New Zealand will help ensure YES has the funding it needs to inspire young Kiwi to see business ownership as an exciting and achievable pathway. It reflects Kiwibank’s commitment to investing in the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. This is turning good golf in to greater impact.
