Kiwi Expat Association (KEA):Kea is a global community of people who help each other achieve great things all over the world because of the common passion they share for New Zealand.
It is a well known fact that many 'Kiwis' seek experiences beyond New Zealand's shores at some point in their lives. Over the years New Zealanders have earned a reputation for being among the world's greatest travellers, adventurers and achievers. Today it is estimated that approximately 24% of New Zealand's highly skilled workforce now resides 'offshore' - a figure that is higher than any other developed nation.
Kea is turning this phenomenon into a source of national competitive advantage, by tapping this wealth of international knowledge and expertise and making New Zealand the most globally connected nation on earth.
Kea now connects with more than 23,000 Kiwis and other 'friends of New Zealand' living in over 174 countries across the globe. Their global community provides a vital link to international markets: promoting trade, attracting inward investment and migration, and stimulating business activity and innovation.
