Welcome to the July edition of 'The Lookout'
Kia ora koutou
Welcome to The Lookout, bringing you a global perspective on issues that matter.
In our July edition, we put In Focus the recent Aspen Ideas Festival, and take a look at five key takeaways from this year's event.
Followed by Leadership In Action with a review of our recent NZ-India Forum, which explored the numerous opportunities to develop our bilateral relationship further. Plus, an In Depth look at the Institute's latest report on Re-Engineering American Security: Cultivating Talent for Competitiveness, which addresses America's challenges in maintaining its world-leading innovation strategy and competitive edge.
Coming up we have the Aspen Dialogue Lunch on August 10th, on 'Indo Pacific - Navigating The Next Decade' with Professor Ramesh Thakur, at The Northern Club in Auckland. Followed by our next edition of our International Dialogue Series with Aspen Ananta on Technology, in late August.
This month, we have been running our annual fundraising drive. If you'd like to support the Institute in New Zealand and our valuable work, please get in touch.
