On 4 November, Kea New Zealand was pleased to support the Services Sector Panel of New Zealand that brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to discuss the future of the services sector prior to the opening of the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE). With an engaging opening speech from New Zealand Trade and Agriculture Minister Hon. Todd Mcclay, the event set a positive and collaborative tone for the discussions. The panel discussions covered a range of topics, including banking, retail, tourism and legal practices shared by the industry leaders from ANZ (Angie Chen, Head of Global Subsidiary), Trademonster Limited (Gavin Yang,  Managing Director), China Travel Service (Lisa Li, MInstD Managing Director) and Sparks Service (Rocky Meng, Founder). Moderated by the Chair of New Zealand Business Roundtable in China (NZBRiC), Mark Anderton, each panelist shared their perspectives of the development and outlook of their specific field. Participants engaged in meaningful dialogues, sharing best practices and strategies that can be implemented to enhance productivity and resilience. The panel discussion highlighted the significance of the services sector as a cornerstone of New Zealand's economy, emphasizing its role in job creation, innovation, and community well-being. Attendees were encouraged to share their insights and experiences, fostering a spirit of collaboration aimed at addressing both challenges and opportunities within the sector. The event sees the great collaboration between both onshore and offshore organisations. And it's a great pleasure to meet with a broad spectrum of New Zealand leaders who come with the Minister for CIIE including Congresswoman Nancy Lu. It marks a significant step forward in strengthening the services sector, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact of these discussions in the months and years to come! #keanewzealand #lancesheppard Kellie Addison #zoewang #NZBRiC
