 To me to be Kiwi is to come from a small community of people who act locally, but think globally. Entrepreneurs and innovators are the ones who push the boundaries and push us forwards. New Zealand has this great thing, which is that it is a place that many people in the world really want to live. And New Zealand already has kind of this critical mass of an ecosystem. New Zealand is equivalent now to what New York at the turn of the 20th century was, where people here really have an opportunity to be building the future. The inspiration for the Edmund Hilderry Fellowship came from seeing the desire entrepreneurs have to work based on their values and to create a better world than the one they were born in. And in a place like New Zealand, you can move from idea to reality a lot quicker than many other places. The global impact visa has come about because we realised that the world was changing. Whilst our current policies were bringing through some really amazing entrepreneurs doing pretty innovative things here, there were entrepreneurs out there who were equally amazing who just didn't fit within our immigration mould. This programme provides a pathway for these really high-impact, interesting entrepreneurs to come to New Zealand to engage in the Edmund Hilderry Fellowship. The Fellowship is a three-year programme. We'll take up to 100 international entrepreneurs, investors and startup teams per year, along with 20 Kiwi entrepreneurs as well, and put everyone together in a cohort so they can all learn from each other. They can progress together. They can have opportunities for networking. We're looking to attract people that are creating solutions in the areas of agritech, biotech, healthcare, digital storytelling, virtual reality, anything that's going to create positive social, environmental or economic outcomes. One thing about New Zealand is we've always liked to make a global impact. It's a very good place to start something new, test it in an advanced culture and then get it out to the world. As an entrepreneur, I think that Edmund Hilderry Fellowship provide an opportunity to connect with a lot of global thinkers and leaders. A three-year period gives them that flexibility to test new things and hopefully create that next company that's going to employ thousands of people. It's exciting to see people who are real decision makers trying to make a difference in the country and I think it has tremendous potential. Our hope is that Fellows can be part of this programme, get deeply integrated into the New Zealand ecosystem and get a unique opportunity to work on solutions that can make a difference in the world.
