Welcome to HarvardAE Oceania

The Oceania Chapter of Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs was originally established in January 2020 as the Australia Chapter. Today, the Chapter welcomes alumni and friends from across the broader Oceania region — from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Vanuatu, Samoa, Kiribati, Tonga, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Tuvalu, and Nauru. The goal: To bring together a vibrant community across the region, united by a shared passion for innovation, entrepreneurship, and building the future.

Starting in 2025, we’re focused on five themes that matter to Oceania’s future:

  • Small Business Entrepreneurship
    Building and scaling small businesses as powerful engines of innovation and career pathways.

  • AI Transformation Forum
    Leading the conversation on responsible AI, leadership, and the skillsets needed to win in the AI era.

  • Longevity and Health Forum
    Exploring how biotech, digital health, and entrepreneurship are rewriting the future of health and aging.

  • Pension Governance and Innovation Forum
    Unlocking venture opportunities in the global pension and superannuation economy, in collaboration with Harvard and industry leaders.

  • Oceania-Asia Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
    Connecting the dots between Oceania and Asia’s entrepreneurial hubs to create new opportunities, faster.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, innovator, or just passionate about building what’s next — there’s a place for you here.
