  • Smart cities and AI technology key focus for KIWI Challenge 2023

    The competition is designed to inspire youth across Indonesia to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities that address societal issues.

    The 2023 theme is “Reforming Indonesia’s mobility and smart cities using AI technology”.

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) organises the competition in collaboration with a New Zealand university and Kopi Tuli (Deaf Cafe), a deaf community in Jakarta. This year, ENZ is partnering up with Auckland University of Technology (AUT) to co-host the initiative.

    School groups are required to submit video entries to a judging panel made up of AUT academics and ENZ representatives. Submissions are reviewed by the panel and finalists selected. The students will then be supported through a number of workshops and mentoring by the AUT academics.  

    The participating academic from AUT is Senior Lecturer International Business, Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Dr Taghreed Hikmet, who has expertise in smart cities and is passionate about mentoring and inspiring young future leaders. She has had close involvement in multiple programmes like YES, where she mentored young entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas. 

    Dr Hikmet says she is honoured to be involved this year.   

    “It is a delight to have the opportunity to inspire Indonesian students to think creatively about what the future can look like. The development of smart cities is about improving sustainability, creating opportunities for economic development and enhancing the quality of life for people, I’m looking forward to seeing the ideas students put forward,” she says. 

    ENZ Director Asia Ben Burrowes says that this initiative showcases New Zealand’s world-class education and academics in a meaningful way. 

    “Now entering its fourth year, KIWI Challenge has grown into a unique platform for New Zealand and our top academics to remain connected to Indonesian students in a way that is in touch with what matters to them. We continue to work with partners in Indonesia to identify the themes that resonate with students” he says.

    The winners of the competition will be announced on Saturday 25 November, the top three groups will be awarded vouchers worth IDR 2,000,000 – 10,000,000. 

    To date, the competition has attracted more than 1,000 Indonesian students through the programme and each year has showcased a New Zealand university and a particular theme. Previous university partners were Massey University (Tourism), Lincoln University (Agribusiness) and the University of Canterbury (Education Technology).  

  • High satisfaction rates amongst valuable insights collected from NZIEC KI TUA 2023 post-event survey

    As standard practice for our events, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) sends out a post-event survey to help us in planning for future conferences and would like to extend a big thank you to all those who took the time to share their feedback with us.  

    Manager Global Events and Agents, Janine Huxford, said that the information we gather via these surveys is of huge value to her team as planning has already started for NZIEC KI TUA 2024.  

    “The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive and 88% of attendees reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their experience at NZIEC KI TUA 2023. We also received a net promoter score of +27 which is well above the events industry’s benchmark of +10 which shows strong customer engagement and advocacy levels.  

    “While these satisfaction rates are helpful and show that we are hitting the mark with most attendees, we really like to delve a bit deeper into the areas which haven’t quite met the delegates’ expectations. For example, satisfaction was slightly higher for those attending from the universities vs the school sector so we will be reviewing aspects of future schedules including the relevance of the sessions and making sure this is more evenly spread for all areas of the sector”.  

    “Also, there was feedback from some delegates that the app did not work as well as it could have. We have fed that information back to the developers who have confirmed that development work is scheduled to improve the mobile app. A future release is expected later this year which we expect will improve next year’s conference app.” added Janine.  

    In summary, the key findings from the survey were:  

    • Overall, 88% of attendees reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their experience at NZIEC KI TUA 2023. 3.5% reported not being satisfied with their experience. 

    • There was some variation in overall satisfaction with NZIEC KI TUA within the sector: Those affiliated with a university were statistically more likely to be very/satisfied with their experience (95%) than those affiliated with a school (86%) 

    • Despite evidence that those affiliated with a university were more likely than those with a school to report overall satisfaction with NZIEC KI TUA, the NPS for schools (+25) was higher than that for universities (14%).  

    • All keynote sessions were perceived to be of high quality by most respondents, with few responding negatively. A small proportion of attendees rated the sessions by Dr Hinemoa Elder (18%), Yemi Penn (13%), and Kaila Colbin (7%) as ‘fair’. 

    • Among networking opportunities at the conference delegates were most satisfied with opportunities to reconnect with sector colleagues (88% very/completely satisfied), followed by opportunities to meet new people (84%) and engage with partners (70%). 

    • Among experiences of the conference, delegates were most satisfied with the helpfulness of the organising staff (98% very/completely satisfied), followed by the organisation of the event (87%), quality of the sessions (74%), and relevance of the sessions (65%)  

    • The relevance of the sessions (30%), quality of the sessions (22%), and the event organisation (18%) contributed the most to people’s response to the Net Promoter Score question. This means that they are the most important factors in people’s experiences for their likelihood to recommend NZIEC KI TUA to others. 

    • Around half of the respondents felt more or much more confident that the New Zealand international education sector is ‘moving in the right direction’ (54%) and that it is resilient (53%). Only 7% felt less confident in either. 

    ENZ looks forward to welcoming you to another outstanding experience at NZIEC KI TUA 2024 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington from 6 - 8 August 2024 at Tākina Convention Centre. See you there!
