  • China experts to speak at Business Forum

    Lantern Festival Business Forum2

    The second annual South Island Lantern Business Forum will be held on 9 March and is run by ChristchurchNZ, in partnership with Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce.

    The international keynote speaker for 2018 is Duncan Innes-Ker, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Regional Director, Asia & Australasia. Duncan, who is based in Hong Kong and a frequent commentator for the BBC and CNN, will speak on the way in which key policies and customer trends in China will shape how businesses will interact and engage with the Chinese market. 

    Also speaking is Dr Bill Liu, successful founder and CEO of Royole Corporation – a Silicon Valley, Hong Kong and Shenzhen-based company that develops rollable displays for smartphones, computers and televisions. His presentation aims to demystify the maze of investor funding and financing options available for companies wanting to make the big leap to manufacturing in China.

    Following the forum is a number of workshops, including one on ‘The Future of The China International Education Market’ led by Shelly Xu, ENZ’s Market Development Manager, based in Shanghai.

    Shelly will discuss trends in China student mobility, preferred overseas study destinations and subject choices, and trends in technology adoption in the Chinese education system. 

    “Knowing how to approach agents and students in China, and understanding the trends in international education demand will help education providers engage more effectively in the market” said Shelly.

    “This Forum provides an opportunity for education providers and exporters to network and explore opportunities to leverage from each other’s activities in China.”

    International students from China are valued at around $1.55 billion to New Zealand. In 2016, 2,923 Chinese students studied in the Canterbury region.  This has grown by 82% since 2012, speaking to the quality and relevance of Canterbury’s international education offering for the Chinese market.

  • From the CE: Wishing you a Happy Lunar New Year and prosperous Year of the Dragon

    The dragon is a majestic and lucky creature in folklore, symbolising bravery, creativity, and innovation. According to the Chinese horoscope, 2024 is a year full of potential and opportunities for personal growth, professional success, and social impact.  

    Potential. Opportunities for growth. Social impact. The Year of the Dragon is perfectly matched to international education in New Zealand. 

    Entering our second full year since the borders reopened, the good progress made in 2023 sets the platform for further growth in 2024. In November and December, Immigration New Zealand data tells us that the number of offshore applications exceeded all other months in 2023. While this is to be expected, it is without doubt a good sign for term one.  

    New Zealand’s reputation for delivering a quality education in a safe environment remains intact and attractive to learners.  

    This was further confirmed by the results of our student experience survey completed last year. It reported that 84% of international students rated their overall student experience positively. And that 83% of students would be likely to recommend New Zealand as a study destination compared to 81% in 2021.  

    I was also greatly heartened to see the results of our survey of New Zealanders’ attitudes to international education. It found that 75% of New Zealanders believe that international students benefit New Zealand. Specifically, New Zealanders were positive about the contribution international students make to local business during their study, their contribution to New Zealand’s cultural diversity and how they help local students learn about other ways of life.  

    This is a win-win. The learners are coming. They have a positive experience when they are here, and they are welcomed by the community for the contribution they make. In the Year of the Dragon this is confirmation of the potential and the social impact of international education.  

    Now we must turn that potential into reality, which is what the teams at ENZ are focused on working with you to deliver. International education at all levels is highly competitive, and potential does not just happen – even in the Year of the Dragon. In this edition of E-News you will learn about activities across all geographies and offices, and this week there is an ENZ delegation, comprising all eight universities, meeting important Government, agent and sector partners in India.  

    As I said in December, there is still much to do. 

    Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini.  

    It is not the strength of one person alone, but the strength of many that contribute to our success. 

    Ngā mihi,

    Linda Sissons
    Acting Chief Executive
