At last, a kick along for high tech and niche manufacturing
At last, a kick along for high tech and niche manufacturing
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 8 November 2011 ) For a large number of New Zealanders, and (also unfortunately) the media, the announcement of a high-tech transformation of the science sector will be a “so what” experience.
For those looking for science and innovation led means to improve the country’s wealth, the declaration and its nuances are significant.
First the statement was from John Key, rather than the Minister of Science and Innovation, and secondly by government, rather than as National Party election manifesto statement.
