  • ENZ Indonesia launches Kiwi Challenge 2024

    On 21 September 2024, the Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ai (ENZ) team in Indonesia proudly launched the fifth KIWI Challenge, continuing ENZ’s collaboration with New Zealand universities. Each year, the competition is co-hosted by ENZ and one New Zealand university with the University of Otago invited to participate in 2024.   

    This year, university students will participate alongside high school students for the first time. Their challenge is to propose solutions that support youth-led Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). 

    The in-person and online launch event featured a virtual keynote speech by Associate Professor Conor O’Kane, Head of the Bachelor of Entrepreneurship programme at Otago Business School. In-person attendees included Associate Professor Leah Watkins, Director of Masters’ Programmes; Regional Manager Sarah Ewing; and Otago Master of Entrepreneurship alumna Fasya Amasani, who delivered insightful sessions about the university. ENZ’s Market Manager, Naluri Bella Wati, also provided an overview of the competition regulations. 

    The event attracted approximately 100 attendees, all eager to engage with this inspiring challenge. ICAN Education, one of Otago and ENZ's agent partners, served as the on-ground organiser.  

    Students have until 31 October 2024 to register and send in their video submissions. Following this, the top five teams from both high school and university categories will be selected to pitch their entrepreneurial ideas in the finals, scheduled for 7 December 2024.

  • Dubai Expo Global Kaitiakitanga winners

    The Global Kaitiakitanga Project was a partnership between New Zealand at Expo 2020 and Young Enterprise.  With a focus on sustainability, the project provided high-quality business mentoring and international collaboration for young New Zealand innovators.  In a seven-month programme from March to September 2021, five finalist businesses were supported to develop and scale their business proposals. Two entries were judged joint programme winners in a Dragons’ Den style pitch event in September 2021.   

    Four students representing the joint winners, Abalro Health and GreenKiwi Supplements joined guests as New Zealand’s Youth Ambassadors as part of their learning about doing business in the Middle East. The students were truly inspirational, and showcased the strengths of a New Zealand education, which encourages students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers and lifelong learners through independent projects and hands-on experience.

    From Bayfield High School in Dunedin, students Robert Donohoe, Abby Green and Alex Livingstone (above) harnessed the power of raw barberries to create a natural supplement to treat acne. Their company, Abalro Health, is the only New Zealand-based company using barberries. Research has shown that barberries reduce acne by 43% in just four weeks.

    Max Donaldson (above) of Kerikeri High School drew on his passion for olives to develop a first-to-market, New Zealand grown olive leaf supplement, which can support immune and cardiovascular health from what is normally an industry byproduct. GreenKiwi Supplements is a vertically integrated business developed by Max to pioneer traceable, New Zealand grown olive leaf for the global nutraceutical marketplace.
