Find Out More About Us
KiwisInSTEM was started to address the consequences of educated Kiwis leaving Aotearoa.
New Zealand citizens are increasingly departing the country, with Statistics NZ reporting that over 81,200 citizens exited the country between April 2023 and 2024.
Leaving your home country is challenging, and KiwisInSTEM aims to help ease this transition through community.
Aotearoa deserves to be competitive in STEM on the world stage, so we're also enabling talented New Zealanders to maintain and grow connections back home.
Our Objectives:
-
Empower Kiwis in STEM to advance their careers internationally while staying connected to their homeland.
-
Assist government agencies and private companies to gain insight into the significant contributions made by New Zealanders abroad.
-
Globally promote the amazing work of Kiwis, at both an individual level and together as a nation to highlight how our "can do" attitude aligns with advancements in science and technology.

Co-Chair & Test Engineer
When I moved from NZ to the UK, I didn't realize how much I would miss home. I believe that the KiwisInSTEM community can bring people together who understand what it means to be a Kiwi working in the United Kingdom.

The STEM sector is vital to the prosperity of both NZ and the UK. Co-founding KiwisInSTEM to create a thriving and supportive community for individuals and businesses is exactly what the NZUK Link Foundation was set up to do 34 years ago.
