9 global thinkers in one-off event

9 global thinkers in one-off event

ExportNZ and BusinessNZ want to draw your attention to this one-off opportunity to hear world class speakers like Sir Ken Robinson – world expert on creativity and Innovation and whose TED talks are amongst the most viewed ever; former chief scientist at AMAZON, Dr Andreas Weigend, world expert on big data and consumer behaviour; USDA expert on cross border trade Douglas Bailey; and many more.

Brought to business by GS1 (the global supply chain standards organisation) these global thinkers will be covering three broad themes:

  • New Zealand’s surging export trade to China and the increasing importance of product integrity in that market (session 1)
  • How more value is captured in New Zealand’s global trading relationships (with China and elsewhere) when we make best use of online data for understanding customers, describing products and streamlining trade processes (session 2)
  • Why innovation in digital products and services is so critical for New Zealand’s economic future given global market trends in product integrity and explosive growth in online data use (session 3)

ExportNZ and BusinessNZ are pleased to support this conference because we think it is important that New Zealand businesses get the opportunity to hear world class speakers on future trends. We are geographically remote and it is not often that we get this calibre of speakers in these numbers at a one day conference. We congratulate the Board of GSI for wanting to get thought leaders to share their views on global connectivity, value chains and innovation.
