I’m on the faculty of the University of Auckland Business School in New Zealand where I teach an MBA class. The School has a fantastic million-dollar challenge open to New Zealand entrepreneurial businesses. The challenge has been established by London-based investor Charles Bidwell, New Zealander and former Auckland stockbroker.
I spoke at the awards in 2009 – winners were coffee roasters Allpress Espresso (for London expansion), smart water meter technology developers Outpost Central (growing business in water-deficient Australia) and hot water heating control technology company Senztek (R&D and marketing new products for Europe). Kiwi Innovation!
The Bidwell Challenge is part of Auckland University Business School’s movement of the bar for aspiration far beyond “bach-and-boat”; it’s to take on the world.
Enter here before July 19.
