Stalking horse comments on innovative Auckland – Gluckman
Stalking horse comments on innovative Auckland – Gluckman
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 13 Dec. 2011 ) There’s a certain amount of stalking horse-ishness to Sir Peter Gluckman’s recent ‘Auckland conversation’ (formerly known as Mayoral Conversations; speakers of repute).
As the chief science advisor, Gluckman’s past kite-flying thoughts on research and other matters have generally preceded government action.
This speech will be no different, and as has been much of his direction lately, Gluckman’s concentrating on making money from our brains in ‘Innovation through science: the pathway to economic prosperity’.
He’s pushing Auckland, as the country’s only centre with the scope and aspiration to be a truly international city, as doing more, much more, to lead the development of a true innovation ecosystem.
