Each day of August, the Institute will feature one initiative from the TalentNZ Menu of Initiatives. The Menu showcases four integrated work-streams – grow, attract, retain and connect.

Today we are showcasing ‘Connect 2. Connect existing entrepreneurs with a purpose’. For examples of this initiative, please see the Menu of Initiatives website. If you know of an organisation or initiative that should be included as an example on the website, please email us at [email protected].

Connect 2. Connect existing entrepreneurs with a purpose

This is about:

  • Creating a clear purpose when connecting entrepreneurs and the talent that they surround themselves with – it should not be time wasting.
  • Introducing individuals that should ‘know each other’ or create events that bring people together with a shared goal. Ideally identify what entrepreneurs want and need. It may be about funds, legal advice, space, global contacts, partnerships, marketing advice and/or communication skills.

About TalentNZ
The Menu of Initiatives is part of our Project TalentNZ and focuses on how best to identify and distribute tools for councils, businesses and communities to design their own unique strategy for creating a talent-based economy. TalentNZ builds on Sir Paul Callaghan’s vision of making New Zealand ‘a place where talent wants to live’. Sir Paul outlined the reasons why his vision is important in a 20-minute video at the Institute’s StrategyNZ workshop in 2020. The focus of the Menu is on the ‘how’ – we are testing Sir Paul’s assumptions and exploring ways New Zealanders might turn this vision into a reality. To learn more about the TalentNZ project see www.talentnz.org.
