Join us for an insightful evening with His Excellency, Mr Viktor Vavricka, Ambassador of Switzerland to New Zealand, Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu as he will deliver a keynote highlighting how Switzerland, a small yet advanced economy, has leveraged focused strategies to drive innovation and sustainable growth. His Excellency will go over what factors he believes are important in making the Swiss economy a successful case, including the links between vocational education and the electoral system in the neutral country.
Following the keynote, we bring you a dynamic panel discussion with Mark Oldershaw (Executive Director of UCOL), Jerry Shearman (CEO of CEDA) and Viktor Vavricka (the Swiss Ambassador to New Zealand) moderated by Scott Haumaha (CEO of SME Collective). Our panellists will discuss the role of vocational training in innovation, how New Zealand can learn from Switzerland’s approaches to fostering our resilient economy and opportunities for collaboration between the two countries.
