Good morning everyone, welcome to the 6th annual Asia Savvy Conference. The theme of this year’s conference is “Asia: Thinking Big and Small”. The Asia Savvy Committee hopes to take you on a journey to explore broadly current macro-trends in the Asian economy as well stories from entrepreneurs and innovators who have succeeded in Asia.
Six years ago, succeeding in Asia presented an insurmountable challenge for young New Zealand entrepreneurs starting out. A lot of time, it was about trial, error and luck. Today however, it is absolutely crucial that the new generation is equipped with the right knowledge and skill set for a more globalised economy where the Asian markets will play a dominant role.
The committee has focused their attention on disruptions happening in the emerging markets, in particular, South East Asia. The conference will address three key topics that are all aimed at exploring each and every one of our potentials and ability around fostering entrepreneurship. We will discuss emerging market trends such as E-Commerce; explore the underlying opportunities for Kiwi entrepreneurs; and brainstorm on how to think innovatively involving Asia. It is our goal to develop your understanding on how we can position ourselves in the global picture; as well as recognise and act on opportunities that have, and will continue to arise in Asia.
We have invited a diverse group of students and speakers to this conference reflecting our own national cultural diversification. Our expert
speakers will share their journey with you, inspiring you to become more “Asia Savvy”. In addition to the Q&A sessions after our panel discussions, there will also be ample opportunity for interaction during workshops and team activities. As the upcoming generation of New Zealand’s work force, we invite you to maximise this platform provided and encourage you to be brave and share your ideas; to believe in yourself and challenge the status quo; to keep an open mind and listen to others; and lastly, to make the most of this conference to learn, develop and connect.
After all, adventure-seeking is in our blood, and we must be able to “think big and small” when it comes to planning our future. As future leaders and change-makers, we hope that today’s conference will equip you with both the knowledge and relationships to maximise your contribution to New Zealand business and society as an Asia-savvy graduate.

Welcome everybody,

Welcome to the Asia-Savvy: New Zealand Asia Conference 2016 at the University of Auckland.
We are delighted to support this year’s student-led Asia-Savvy Conference. Given the importance of Asia to New Zealand, it is wonderful to see so many talented students with Asian expertise and Asian interests coming to spend the day to share, learn and develop ideas. I am also impressed by the talent and expertise of the conference speakers, several of whom come from the business world where many of you will be headed. A team of dedicated students, supported by our staff, has worked with passion and creativity over the past year to bring the conference together.
This year’s programme builds on some of the successes from past conferences, with its relaxed format to encourage you to maximize networking opportunities with fellow students as well as our expert speakers. Our theme takes up the importance of considering the ‘small’ when it comes to Asia – identifying our strengths of small countries and individuals, and leveraging off them to benefit from Asia’s growth and contribute to a shared success story. We hope you find it inspiring. Our speakers have a diverse range of experience in different industries and have all stepped out of New Zealand and succeeded in their businesses. Together, they address the key issues of the changing Asian market, opportunities for New Zealand
entrepreneurs and innovative thinking for Asia. They provide an exciting line up of talent, mix of experience and diverse perspectives. We hope their stories will encourage your thinking for your future. To provide for active engagement by student participants each panel is followed by a group workshop, where you are able to share experiences and test ideas with peers and facilitators.
You have shown your interest in Asia and in the future of NZ-Asia relations by attending Asia-Savvy 2016. We hope that you will make the most of the links you forge and the knowledge you discover during the conference, and turn this into action as you embark on your own Asia-savvy journey in the future.
Best wishes

Dear Asia Savvy Conference participants,

The New Zealand Asia Institute (NZAI) was established in May 1995 as part of The University of Auckland’s strategic plan for internationalisation. The decision to set up the Institute was a response to the growing importance of Asia to New Zealand politically, economically and culturally. It signified an evolving recognition of the need for an organization able to reach across academic boundaries within the University and relate this national resource to policy-making and the wider community in New Zealand.
As a university-wide initiative, NZAI has core objectives including:
• Strengthening interdisciplinary and inter-faculty cooperation in order to ensure interested students in all academic fields have access to Asia-related courses;
• Maximizing the University’s location in New Zealand’s largest city with its many commercial links to Asia;
• Brokering the University’s Asian expertise in policy advice and case-study analyses to Government departments and the private sector;
• Building a core of specialists on New Zealand-Asia issues and to provide a forum for informed and forward-looking discussions on what is happening in Asia and its implications for New Zealand;
• Involving the increasing Asian population both in the University and the city.
NZAI’s current positioning in The Business School was of strategic importance as it added to the Institute’s policy focus with a complementary applied business dimension. It also allowed NZAI to enrich and enhance its research portfolio with more programmatic projects, which will better engage targeted groups in the public. As a result, the Institute is better enabled to serve as a focal point for the development of multidisciplinary activities that will involve research teams and postgraduate students.
Continuing the support for Asia-Savvy fits with NZAI’s overall mission to “Develop graduates, knowledge and ideas that enhance New Zealand’s understanding of, and ability to engage productively with, Asia.” Through bringing together and engaging increased numbers of Asia-savvy students, businesses and other leaders with interests in Asia in this student-led conference, NZAI is helped to create and sustain a platform for engagement with Asia.

Annie Ren Operations
I am a third year Commerce and Property student and I have always had a keen interest in working in Asia. I would love to communicate the importance of Asia as it becomes more significant in shaping the NZ economy. I also feel a deeper understanding of the ties between NZ and Asia will increase our future career prospects. I developed a keen interest in the Asia Savvy Conference and the benefits that it brings after attending last year’s conference. The 2015 conference was fascinating to me. Listening to renowned business leaders as well as experienced HR professionals was very empowering. This year, as the project coordinator, working alongside the Asia Savvy’s Conference manager, I hope to be able to contribute to planning and implementing another successful and meaningful conference in 2016.
Mira Bi Content
I am a fourth year student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Health Sciences conjoint degree. My Asian Studies major has enabled me to gain insight into the incredible diversity and dynamics of Asian countries and their people from a variety of perspectives. However, with the emergence of Asia as a major player in Asia-Pacific affairs, I am keen to further explore New Zealand’s engagement with Asia and in particular, the potential this vibrant region holds for our nation’s future. The Asia Savvy conference provides a unique opportunity to positively transform our awareness of and relationship with Asia through student and professional interactions. For New Zealanders, Asia increasingly defines who we are and our place in the world, so knowledge of Asia will no doubt be a crucial asset for our future lives and careers!

Wesley Harfield Outreach
I am a fourth year Economics, Finance and Computer Science student with a keen interest in Mandarin Chinese. Having been fortunate enough to spend time in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan through conferences, studying and travelling, I have developed a strong interest in the life style and cultural differences Asian countries offer compared to New Zealand. Furthermore I have developed a strong passion for trying to connect New Zealand to Asia through our innovative and unique businesses. I feel this is a crucial relationship to develop for New Zealand’s economic growth. I believe the opportunities Asia Savvy offers through its scheduled events provides a great platform for networking and educating of students of the connections New Zealand has to offer Asia and how those interested can help develop these connections.
Han Li Delegate relations and website
I’m a fourth year Arts and Law student, majoring in Politics. As a 1.5 generation Chinese New Zealander, I have always been interested in increasing understanding between my two cultures. As this is what Asia Savvy aims to do, I’m naturally really excited to be a committee member! Living here, I have seen first-hand the confusing relationship between New Zealand and Asia. Then, when I got the chance to travel to Asia in the summer, I saw this confusing relationship from the other side. I hope that we at Asia Savvy can help ease this confusion through creating an informative and dynamic conference.

Ahyoung KimI am a third year Bachelor of Arts student pursuing both a degree in Politics and International Relations, and Film Television and Media Studies. My interest in International Relations as part of my major has stimulated my interest in Asia-Pacific relations, and I believe that the Asia Savvy conference will help me to learn and explore more about this area. Especially now in a globalised world, Asia has become an essential platform in all areas such as business and trade, and I wish to use the information and experience I gain from this conference to my future studies and research. I am really looking forward to being one of the Ambassadors of this conference, and I hope to be an influential team member in the establishment of this significant conference coming up in August.
Isabella NjohanaI’m studying Master of Bioscience Enterprise programme here in University of Auckland. This is an interdisciplinary degree that bridges business and science. One of many proud Chinese Indonesians who came to New Zealand to study, I was pleased to come across the Asia Savvy Conference. As someone who has lived in Asia all her life, I understand the importance of working with Asian businesses and the wide range of benefits it can bring. Hence my interest in knowing more about New Zealand’s relationship with Asia and how to maintain and grow it by becoming one of Asia Savvy’s Ambassadors. I believe that understanding Asia’s various cultures and backgrounds will help New Zealand in achieving the greater potential.

Xuyan Sun I am an international student from China, currently studying for my Masters of Marketing in Auckland University of Technology. During my academic journey in New Zealand, I find the awareness of Asia-Pacific is increasing, and the relationship between Asia and New Zealand is gaining more and more attention. These changes give me a sense of mission the opportunity I have to act as a bridge between western and eastern cultures, with an open attitude, good communication, and essential respect for diversity. As an Asia Savvy Ambassador, I warmly encourage those who have an interest in New Zealand and Asia relationships to join us. The conference is not only for those seeking learnings about business opportunities, but also provide the opportunity for exchange of great ideas.
Janice Tang I am a second year business student with a double major in MARS (marketing, advertising, retail and sales) and Economics from Auckland University of Technology. I came to New Zealand 3 years ago and am currently spending my 4th year in this beautiful country. Being an international student in this multicultural society makes me more open-minded and I understand the importance and benefits of cultural exchange first hand. The Asia Savvy Conference provides a valuable opportunity to share and exchange various ideas and experiences with other students and speakers. It is a unique experience to everyday classes. It is a pleasure and a great honour to be one of the Asia Savvy Ambassadors this year. I am proud to recommend this conference to anyone who is keen to learn about international business. I believe the conference will be an enriching experience for our futures.

Rena ZhuI am a second year Bachelor of Business student majoring in both MARS (marketing, advertising, retails and sales) and Economics. I was born a Chinese kiwi and as such, have had the privilege of being able to celebrate the best of both worlds - both my Chinese traditions and my kiwi traditions. Growing up in Auckland, I have enjoyed popular events such as Chinese New Year and the Chinese lantern festival celebrated among diverse cultures and people from different backgrounds. For me this shows the importance of connecting with Asia and building stronger relationships. The Asia Savvy ambassador role will give me an opportunity to develop my knowledge and broaden my understanding of how essential it is have positive relationships between Asia and New Zealand, especially in today’s fast paced environment. I hope to be an influential team member and contribute in delivering a valuable experience at the conference.
