  1. Bay of Plenty How we all fit together. Greg Simmonds – Priority One Angela Wallace – ExportNZ Bay of Plenty

  2. Priority One’s purpose is to build a vibrant economy that retains and attracts talented, skilled and creative people and the businesses that need them.

  3. Regional Strengths & Opportunities

  4. The Bay of Connections’ strategy encompasses the centres and sectors of the wider Bay of Plenty region, including Tauranga, Western Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, and the Eastern Bay of Plenty and Taupo.

  5. SmartGrowth – Collaborative Growth Management • A 20 to 50 year action plan to manage future growth in the western Bay of Plenty • A voluntary, cooperative approach built on understanding, agreement and commitment, in preference to a mandatory model built on compliance and coercion • Strong emphasis on interagency implementation • Provides overarching framework and direction for other sub-regional strategies

  7. What does this mean for Sister Cities?

  8. Roles, structures and relationships are defined and strong, so different agencies ‘pull each other in’ when logical, helpful. e.g. Priority One sponsoring this conference

  9. From an economic perspective Responsible for economic development activities related to our Sister Cities

  10. Benefits Spread the load, leverage opportunities Because councils can’t do it all – don’t have the strong links in to all the areas Organisations already working with international businesses, schools, tourism operators Keep up momentum in-between mayoral visits Follow up on enquiries to council To host business/education delegations and follow up

  11. BOP Yantai and 2010 World Expo delegation (60)

  12. 2011 Export Bay of Plenty led visit to Hitachi (not all trips need to be BIG – just need to get results JNZBC/SC, Education TGA, Priority One

  13. November 2012 Inward Hitachi delegation – ExportNZ day ExportNZ BOP organise and host their business itinerary i.e. visiting a rest home and an intermediate school and sampling local products.

  16. Culture AND Business

  17. Complete Kiwifruit Lifecycle

  18. Hitachi Sakura Festival – GREAT timing

  19. Major Learning: Hitachi example 3 x years working with companies ‘wanting’ to export to Japan, market research etc Looking at opportunities within Hitachi Some of those companies are now exporting to Japan (some include Hitachi) Looking for opportunities in Hitachi / Ibaraki Prefecture for them i.e. Darts, Vanilla, Avocado’s, Avocado Oil etc.

  20. What next? Likely: Small ‘collaborative’ business delegation this year – heading to Hitachi, linking in to Japan NZ Business Council Conference (Hitachi representatives), and food related trade fair (Hitachi help) Next year: Mayoral Mission Japan? Visit our wonderful friends in Hitachi Timing: Sakura Festival, Zespri Conference Civic, Culture, Business, Education, Creative and Tourism Friendship? Funding? Council funding to ExportNZ for overall organisation (on the ground help from Hitachi Chamber of Commerce) Businesses pay themselves, and have their own business activities after.
