Kiwis flightless? Opportunities throughout the Kiwi nation are soaring on the back of innovation.
Innovation and ingenuity are New Zealand hallmarks, whether the nation is designing and building winning yachts, breeding thoroughbred horses, breaking box office records, introducing sustainable forestry or wowing the world with wine. New Zealand ranks ahead of Japan, Canada, China, Australia, Singapore and Korea as an international leader in innovation. It has a historic stock of innovators with a ‘can do’ approach: Kiwis split the atom, conquered Mount Everest, reduced the time it takes to brew beer with continuous fermentation, were involved in establishing the structure of DNA and, some argue, were the first to fly. Located in the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand consists of two large islands, the North Island and South Island, plus several smaller ones, of which Stewart Island is the largest. The main islands are separated by Cook Strait, while to the north and east lies the Pacific Ocean. To its west the Tasman Sea separates New Zealand from its closest neighbour Australia, while the frozen continent of Antarctica is 2200km to its south. New Zealand’s main centres are Auckland and Wellington (its capital), both located in the North Island. Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city.
