NZ’s ‘superpower’

The presentation by our Guardian Izzy Fenwick, fresh from her fellowship in India with Observer Research Foundation and the Raisina Dialogue 2025, was a standout moment of our hui. She highlighted, in a world where global cooperation is fraying, how the Circle’s model – of public private partnerships, cross-sector trust and long-term thinking - sparked genuine interest among her peers in India. It’s easy to forget our strengths as a small trading nation in a noisy, unstable world. Izzy reminded us New Zealand’s two degrees of separation is a powerful asset. It enables seamless collaboration across sectors, something the Circle is proud to harness.
