Worth reading Andy’s comments on the Herald beat up Road to Silicon Valley turns rocky
As I mentioned before I think NZTE is doing a great job where they are facilitating networks. Right now the Beachheads program is the premier program, its getting a lot of support and I’d suggest any NZ company that is operating globally to take advantage of it.
As Andy says, companies need to also step up and help themselves. I think the desire is lifting and I’m immensely grateful that people like Andy provide so much time, advice and facilitate links between NZ and our markets.

As I commented on Andy’s blog - ANZATech was beginning to look and feel a wee bit Aussie-centric. Notwithstanding that, networks are a good thing. What is even better are catalysts or change agents who can build bridges between the networks, because that is where the real creativity springs from.
