A couple of weeks ago, I joined KEA, New Zealand's Global Talent Community.
It's estimated that approximately 24% of New Zealand's highly skilled workforce now resides 'offshore' - a figure that is higher than any other developed nation. So KEA tries to leverage the global presence of so many Kiwis to provide a link to international markets: promoting trade, attracting inward investment and migration, and stimulating business activity and innovation.
Today, I joined the KEA Middle East chapter. It has 188 members. I visited the UAE just four weeks ago and plan to do so again soon. Having a ready made community of almost 200 ex-pat Kiwis to connect with in the region, will provide insights into local business culture and potentially new routes to market.
KEA's aim is to make New Zealand the most globally connected nation on earth. It is a network I intend to make great use of.
