Dr Stevens says he was delighted with the invitation, and looked forward to working with other like-minded individuals
for the good of the industry.
“I believe biotechnology is a key platform on which to build a new dimension to New Zealand’s economy, and this belief

the industry body NZBio, is a welcome opportunity.”

include Excell Corporation CEO, Fernz Chemical Group General Manager, Carter Holt Harvey Packaging – Case Division
