Frost & Sullivan's first-ever New Zealand conference on growth, innovation and leadership, taking place on 28 August, 2014, could not be more timely or relevant (see registration details in the reference section below).
New Zealand needs innovation-driven growth, and that requires leadership, according to the OECD's most recent economic survey of New Zealand. Indeed, New Zealand's income per head is well below the OECD average, mainly due to disappointing productivity performance.
The OECD's report discusses a number of issues on the growth, innovation and leadership agenda to help New Zealand lift its game, and realise its potential.
In particular, fostering stronger international trade and investment linkages would be crucial for this small and distant country to promote scale economies, knowledge diffusion and competitiveness -- and above all to capitalise on the expanding opportunities in China and elsewhere in emerging Asia.
The declining cost of information and communications technology (ICT) and rising Internet use present significant opportunities for New Zealand to expand its services trade. However, despite growing broadband penetration, Internet connection remains relatively expensive and slow. Improving the ICT infrastructure will be critical to reducing the country’s effective distance from major markets.
Stimulating innovation is key to achieving sustainable productivity gains. New Zealand`s innovation system boasts many strengths, particularly in scientific skills and research. However, business and government R&D expenditures are low by OECD standards, and there may be a shortage of skills in management and engineering.
This is the context for the first-ever New Zealand conference of Frost & Sullivan's Global Community of Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL). This event will be taking place on 28 August, 2014 at the Villa Maria Estate, Auckland, New Zealand.
As always, GIL Global will bring together a global network of today's best thinkers, visionaries and thought leaders -- to promote and stimulate how to leverage innovation as a resource to address global challenges.
These include -- Aroop Zutshi, Global President & Managing Partner, Frost & Sullivan; Andre Clarke, Country Manager, New Zealand, Sales Director, APAC ICT, Frost & Sullivan; Manoj Menon, Partner & Asia Pacific Managing Director, Frost & Sullivan; Mark Dougan. Managing Director, Australia & New Zealand, Frost & Sullivan; and Mark Simoncelli, Global Director of Growth Implementation Practise, Frost & Sullivan.
