But there is a substantive Sister City link, and many years of lobbying. Members of the Christchurch Adelaide Sister City Committee have been advocating for this initiative since , but the time was not quite right at that time with the universities in the region being quite rightly focussed on issues postearthquake and this project was not at the forefront of their thinking at that stage. The programme will be piloted in Canterbury in The City Council will be a strong leader in providing learning destinations for the programme through its rich network of City Libraries, the Canterbury Museum and Botanic Gardens to name but a few.

Balex Marine Remote controlled device for loading and unloading boats. Developed an advanced prototype in 20 weeks. Planned to launch this spring. As first published on NZHerald. A wonderful article on Enterprise Angels member, Murray Denyer who totally personifies what it means to be an angel investor. Supported by a scholarship from a major accounting firm, he had been leaning towards a career as an accountant. Then he stumbled across a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade recruitment presentation.
Mr Denyer, who was born and brought up in West Auckland, where his father was a chemist and his mother a GP, now set his sights on a diplomatic career. A major highlight of his diplomatic career came while he was serving on a short-term posting with the New Zealand mission to the United Nations in , when he was on hand to observe Nelson Mandela deliver his first speech as president of South Africa to the General Assembly. Soon afterwards, he was posted to The Hague as second secretary, looking after New Zealand interests in The Netherlands and Scandinavia.
His brief also included international organisations based in The Hague. Mr Denyer said he was proud to have played a role in working on the New Zealand case brought in the International Court of Justice which eventually forced the French to stop nuclear testing at Mururoa.

A French speaker, he spent a lot of time travelling in southern France. It was in The Hague that he met his wife Lisa, an Australian-trained lawyer who was travelling in Europe. After a whirlwind romance, she ended her travels and started work at a Dutch bank in nearby Amsterdam. In , the couple returned to Wellington where he served as a senior legal adviser and worked on international trade law disputes, travelling frequently to the World Trade Organisation in Geneva. In addition, he founded and developed a high-profile international trade law practice, with clients including Fonterra, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry for Primary Industries and New Zealand Winegrowers.
It was that export experience which brought him to the attention of a headhunter seeking a new general counsel for kiwifruit export marketing company Zespri. Mr Denyer knew the company well, but had never been to Tauranga, so he and his wife decided to check out Mount Maunganui. His wife, pregnant with their first child, took a walk on the Mount Maunganui beach while he interviewed for the job. By the time he returned, the decision to take the job and raise a family in Tauranga was a foregone conclusion for the couple. Mr Denyer spent almost six years with Zespri, his role growing to include global management accountability for legal, government relations and industry regulation, and human resources, in addition to serving as secretary to the Zespri board.

He was also deeply involved in the global licensing of kiwifruit varieties. His wife had by then been working for some years with Cooney Lees Morgan, which advises Zespri, and he knew the team there well. In he came on board the firm as a consultant, and was elected to the partnership in Mr Denyer works with the commercial practice group, servicing clients including large corporates like Zespri and Norske Skog, local government, Maori trusts and incorporations, and a wide range of small and medium-sized companies. Mr Tustin said his colleague was a very good lawyer who brought a valuable perspective to the firm from his corporate and diplomatic experience.

As first published NZHerald 19 June These conversations are far more effective than written communications. Attending a course or reading up on this is hugely helpful. Sitting down with the founder and the team at the outset to make sure expectations about the exit and path to exit are agreed and aligned is highly recommended. This should be done even before the first cheque is written. The ideal size for an early stage, high growth company is five. This is unlikely to add value to the enterprise. Carl Jones, a former Tauranga local with a strong track record in government-led venture capital investment, has relocated back from Auckland to take on the role of chief executive with new local technology business incubator WNT Ventures.
He noted WNT Ventures was a collaboration bringing together virtually all of the key early stage and technology investment entities in the region. WNT Ventures was one of only three new technology incubators announced by the Government last year. It will access a repayable grant programme from Callaghan Innovation for start-up businesses based on locally developed intellectual property and novel technologies. While angel investors may like the look of a new technology, they usually required a degree of incubation to prepare it for commercialisation, he said.
Tauranga investors interested in learning more about the angel investment space will get an opportunity later this month when American chair-emeritus of the Angel Capital Association John May visits the region. Mr May has been at the forefront of the angel investor movement and is managing partner of the New Vantage Group, which has organised five angel investing organisations in Washington, D. Currently, Mr May is active in cross-border angel investing and developing angel investment ecosystems in emerging markets.
