What is <strong>Kea</strong>?<br />
We’re connecting Kiwis with Kiwis – creating high impact<br />
global connections for the benefit of New Zealand and our<br />
people, no matter where they are.<br />
We help showcase your Kiwi events, job<br />
opportunities and businesses to other Kiwis<br />
near you.<br />
We introduce Kiwi businesses and individuals<br />
based in Aotearoa and offshore to our global<br />
citizens and friends of New Zealand.<br />
Global Kiwis have told us what New Zealand<br />
means to them, so we give our community<br />
relevant news and events across our social<br />
media channels and newsletters.<br />
We work with people passionate about<br />
New Zealand, from our World Class<br />
New Zealand network to those helping<br />
connect Kiwi businesses to their contacts<br />
every day.<br />

Testimonials<br />
“Being able to talk to someone so knowledgeable,<br />
experienced and influential about how to grow my<br />
company was incredibly helpful. The importance of<br />
networks when starting a new business can’t be<br />
overstated. <strong>Kea</strong> provides a useful way to expand<br />
your network by making warm introductions to<br />
relevant people who share a common perspective:<br />
the desire to see New Zealand prosper.”<br />
HAMISH ELMSLIE,<br />
CEO Wine Grenade Ltd and Connection Seeker<br />
“<strong>Kea</strong> very kindly put me in touch with a Kiwi who has<br />
had much experience in the retail business. I had a<br />
coffee with him for a good 40 minutes and found it very<br />
insightful and helpful. I gained knowledge and advice<br />
in dealing with mass market retail chains, something<br />
which can be daunting for a start-up business.<br />
Incredibly helpful advice. I will be keeping in touch<br />
moving forwards.”<br />
HARRY URQUHART-HAY,<br />
GM Orbitsound Australasia and Connection Seeker<br />
“Absolutely blown away by such<br />
knowledge and the fact high-flying<br />
global Kiwis are keen to help us. I’m<br />
not joking when I say their brain and<br />
experience will save us hundreds of<br />
painful hours.”<br />
