Seriously Asia Revisited - Innovation and Sustainable Development

Published28.3.2023

The Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono commissioned the Innovation and Sustainable Development paper as one of four thematic reports that revisit the outcomes and recommendations of the 2003 Seriously Asia initiative.

The papers reflect on how the context of New Zealand-Asia relationships have changed since 2003, what has been achieved and what could be done differently going forward. These papers informed a series of four hui held over the course of 2022. More than 25 people attended each hui, sharing their perspectives on the themes and contributing to recommendations on how New Zealand can best engage with Asia in the years ahead.

In this paper prepared for Seriously Asia Revisited, Hone McGregor and Kenneth Leong examine the growth of innovation in Asia, the opportunities for New Zealand, and how Te Ao Māori perspectives on sustainable development are shaping relationships with Asia.  This hui was held on Thursday 29 September 2022 in Queenstown.
