'Inside Innovation' recognises we've got a lot of work to do
'Inside Innovation' recognises that we've got a lot of work to do
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 3 Dec. 2010 ) It was called 'Inside Innovation', but Wellington's policy-peoples' group hug could have just as easily been called 'Insider Innovation'.
It was high level stuff, leavened with a presentation by Weta Digital.
Part of the basis of the Tuesday half-day event was an OECD presentation comparing New Zealand to international counterparts - which across most of its metrics found us middling, at best.
It was also a chance to review how much progress had been made on 2007 OECD recommendations on innovation.
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 @ gmail.com
