Can we, and how do we 'supe up' our innovation ecosystem? - (The NZ Institute)
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 2 Dec. 2010 ) Can New Zealand develop a high performing innovation ecosystem that grows many more high value international businesses?
That's one of 10 key issues that The New Zealand Institute's spotlighted in its report about requirements for the country's long term success.
Director Rick Boven says the challenge is to develop strategies and policies that guide and support the question that's been put.
Naturally, this can't be carried out in isolation from 'us', and there's another nine issues in the report that sit alongside, and would need to concurrently occur to drive such a high performing innovation ecosystem.
Boven's essentially talking about how do we produce 'suped up engine' to drive economic prosperity.
