Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S01 E34 - Matt Freeman and the Oceania Renewable Power Conference - Aug 8 2026
Q: What commercially do they think attendees will be able to take away from the summit to action over the next few years?
Matt describes the event as a concentrated opportunity to network, observe market settings, and understand financing options, policy contexts, and regulatory frameworks across Pacific nations, enabling attendees to plan and execute cross-border energy projects more efficiently.
S01 E32 - The French Pacific with Agnes Baekelandt - July 25 2026
Q: What are the main barriers for Kiwi businesses entering the French Pacific markets?
Key barriers include language differences, small diaspora, complex regulations and protectionist practices, relatively higher labor costs, and a reliance on French platforms for distribution. Overcoming these requires local partnerships, language capability, and a clear value proposition.
S01 E32 - The French Pacific with Agnes Baekelandt - July 25 2026
Q: What makes the French Pacific such an important trade partner for New Zealand?
Agnes explains that the French Pacific has a large, wealthy consumer base, stable regulatory frameworks, and a diverse set of prime sectors (tourism, pearls, fishing, tech, and green energy). The combined GDP and strategic location create meaningful opportunities, especially for premium products and services.
S01 E29 - Matthew Finlay and Solomon Airlines - July 4 2026
Q: With such a dispersed population across thousands of islands, how do you approach route planning and partnerships to maximize visitation?
We prioritize partnerships that extend reach to unserved markets, leverage cargo and passenger demand, and create seamless connections from major hubs to Solomon Islands, while acknowledging the high costs of parts and fuel and the need for government support where necessary.
S01 E29 - Matthew Finlay and Solomon Airlines - July 4 2026
Q: Matt, maybe you're having to tick two boxes. You've got international revenue and domestic connectivity; how do you balance those two?
The balance comes from keeping jets busy with international routes while ensuring critical domestic links remain viable, often supported by government payments for community service obligations and careful planning around costs and passenger volumes.
