Keeping extraordinary Kiwi connected to Aotearoa is the key focus of Kea New Zealand.
Kea is a not for profit organisation, funded by the New Zealand Government and selected corporate partners. It works to highlight inspiring Kiwi doing world changing mahi offshore, profile the successes of Kiwi export businesses and showcase the significant opportunities in connecting with both offshore and returning Kiwi.
Although Kea doesn’t have an official presence in the Netherlands, its UK & Europe team is based a short hop away in London. It works with local organisations like NZTE and KIN to bring events, content and networking opportunities into the Dutch market.
