Shanahan debunks plucky NZ punching above its weight
Shanahan on a mission to destroy the notion of plucky NZ punching above its weight
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 24 October 2014 ) You have to give the effusive and self-effacing Greg Shanahan his due.
He kicked off the TIN 100 report in 2004, and now in its tenth year of production it reflects the healthy growth in New Zealand's ICT, high-tech manufacturing and biotech sectors.
As Shanahan told a Wellington audience at MoBIE's new headquarters in Stout St, the combined revenue of these strongly value adding businesses is over $8.3 billion, with $6.1 billion of that from exports.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation &
commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based
news service concentrating on following the money from ideas
to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @
