ICE Ideas Conference

I was lucky enough to be at the ICE Ideas conference a couple of weeks ago.  It was an opportunity for leading NZ Entrepreneurs to espouse their Big Idea on how to move NZ "up a gear" and make a transformational change for the better for our society through being entrepreneurial.

Derek Handley from Hyperfactory was the last speaker.  HyperFactory, a startup from Auckland, was bought by an American firm for around $70 million after 9 years of operation.  Derek's short speech summed up nicely the challenge ahead for us all.  You can link to it below:
