Kea’s ultimate goal is for New Zealand to think, act, and engage more globally by utilising our offshore population of expatriates and honorary citizens.

Kea’s activities are relevant to more than just “Kiwi expats”. We are building a truly global network for New Zealand, which is equally important to New Zealand based organisations and individuals who are pursuing global opportunities, as well as citizens of other countries who have an affinity and interest in connecting with New Zealand.

Kea Hawkes Bay is a pilot for similar local networks planned for other parts of the country. These New Zealand based groups promote the lifeblood of the local economy and show offshore Kiwis and ‘friends of New Zealand’ how to plug into business networks and opportunities back home.

Connect with Otago is dedicated to making it easier to provide connections for people living outside the region to stay in touch with what’s happening here. 

Interested in forming Kea groups in other parts of NZ? Please get in touch.

Join Kea and discover ways that you or your organisation can tap into Kea’s global network of over 80,000 talented New Zealanders living and working around the world.
