Holding hands between business and science |
||
(sticK - Oct. 7 2010 ) There’s often a large gap between science and business, but by successfully being able to hold hands in both camps, AbacusBio has expanded internationally beyond its southern origins.
The Dunedin-based agribusiness consulting and new business development specialists recently set up an Australian office in Hamilton, Victoria, and about 30% of its business now comes from overseas dealings.
AbacusBio has expanded beyond an initial team of four 10 years ago to 20 fulltime staff, and even during the recession has managed to grow its business.
“We’re very applied,” says its managing director, Neville Jopson. “We’re about taking science and technology and making it work in businesses.”
