New connections
It was so good to catch up briefly with the lovely Lilly Auvaa. We first met Lilly when she joined us from Australia for the Samoa Business Network Business Trip in Samoa back in 2018. It was good to know that the connections she made then have helped her with her move and setting up her business in Samoa. She is now permanently based in Apia.

Great to be introduced and meet Simei Kolio who runs a business in Australia called KoKo Samoa and is in Samoa to explore opportunities to give back & utilise Samoan resources.
Isn’t it wonderful to see our people going back home to the islands to create opportunities, not only for themselves but for Samoa?
This gets us excited and gives us so much confidence in opening up a Hub and basing ourselves in Samoa. Because of these connections and also creating a space where we can all come together, work together and support one another
