Jan 22, 2018  -  Dramatic change is needed to grow New Zealand’s small business economy and, to that end, a summit of heavy hitters are gathering in Auckland next week (January 31) to push for a new approach. Entrepreneur Tenby Powell put out a call pre-Christmas for Government to establish an Institute for Small Business and gained overwhelming support from within New Zealand and farther afield.

“It’s an idea whose time has come”, says Powell. “I am advocating for dramatic change. This is not a small step improvement to that which already exists, it’s an entirely different paradigm of thought in respect of our SME (Small & Medium Enterprise) economy and I have recommended to the Minister for Small Business, Hon. Stuart Nash, to think big and not be bound by that which has gone before.”

Powell has organised the summit, called SME LEAP (Leading Enterprise Acceleration & Productivity), which will be held in Auckland on Wednesday, 31 January. Sponsored by Westpac NZ and Staples Rodway, it coincides with the first meeting of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) on which Powell serves.
