25 years · 2001–2026
Since 2001
Kea was founded in 2001 by Sir Stephen Tindall and Professor David Teece, with a simple idea: that New Zealanders, wherever they are in the world, can help shape New Zealand's future.
Twenty-five years on, Kea is a global community of Kiwis and friends of New Zealand who stay connected, help each other, give back to home and honour New Zealanders taking their place on the world stage. We're proud of the contributions our community has made to New Zealand and excited about what's to come.

Please join us to celebrate 25 years of Kea, share favourite moments and stories, and raise a glass to the many people who have been part of it.
For everyone, everywhere
Kea has always been a community spread across the world, so most of us will mark the night from somewhere else. If you're in Auckland, we would be delighted to see you there.
When Auckland raises a glass at 5.30pm, it's…
