  • Heart Work-Out Deep New Zealand Watching the Clouds Child Scientists a Word from the Dean
    May|June 2008 | Faculty of Science Alumni Magazine Issue 02 Heart Work-out Deep New Zealand Watching the clouds Child scientists A word from the Dean Election time looms: is there a technology-led future for our nation? As the election approaches, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves whether any of the major political parties do genuinely believe in a technology-led future for New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country and in many ways we do very well, punching above our weight internationally in certain areas (the dairy industry being the most obvious). But why do we have only one Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, one Raykon Industries and one Buckley Systems, when as a nation we have the expertise and potential to have so many more of these dynamic entities? Without growth and investment in the technology sector, we will continue to fall behind other nations. Currently, only the Government has the scale to prime the pump and invest heavily in a technology-led future for our nation. The Centres of Research Excellence and Partnership for Excellence programmes, both good ideas from the present Government, have focused research on potentially nation-altering science and technology. However, to kick-start early stage basic research, the HRC and Marsden funds need significantly more investment. The recently announced $700M Government Investment Fund is a good start, but this will yield only an additional ~$100 million per year, probably targeted at the land-based industries, of which dairy is by far the largest likely recipient. So where could the required increase in technology investment come from? At the moment, the Trustees invest most of our Superannuation Fund offshore, minimising risk but leaving New Zealand starved of investment.
