Samoa Business Network Information

Samoa Business Network (SBN) is a non-governmental and non-profitable organisation that was formally established as an Incorporated Society on April 23rd, 2013 in Auckland, NZ. However, the movement & work leading up to the formal establishment began in September of 2012, thanks to the shared vision and direction of its current leader Laura Keil-Hall, a Business Manager at the Bank of New Zealand at the time now working for the Ministry for Pacific Peoples as a Business Partnerships & Development Manager & Rasmus Pereira, an entrepreneur and businessman. In November 2012, a branch was established in the Waikato region under the leadership of Meleane Burgess & was officially launched as Samoa Business Network Waikato in 2015. It has since rebranded to Waikato Pacific Business Network in 2016. In November 2016, Samoa branch was launched. It was an honour & a privilege to have the Hon. Prime Minister of Samoa, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegoai deliver the keynote address & officially launch the Network in Samoa. The Samoa branch is currently under the leadership of Afamasaga Jackie Curry. In 2018, we are hoping to establish a connection with Wellington & Australia. Our VISION is simply “to enable a successful worldwide network of Samoan Businesses, Entrepreneurs & Professionals”. To do this, our MISSION is “to provide a platform for Samoan Businesses, Entrepreneurs & Professionals to network, collaborate & also make a positive difference in our community”. We believe success is working together, supporting & uplifting each other. Our focus is connecting, sharing, promoting & celebrating our Samoan Businesses, Entrepreneurs & Professionals globally. It is our strong sense of pride and patriotism for Samoa that drives us to do this work.
