Get off the Grass: Kickstarting New Zealand's Innovation Economy

Science is the compass on the voyage we must all make into the twenty-first century. – Sir Paul Callaghan, 2012

Callaghan and Hendy have highlighted a critical issue--decades in which we have underinvested in both public and private sector investment in technological research and innovation. This is a welcome and timely contribution to the critical debate on how we are to become a more wealthy and healthy society. – Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, Chief Science Advisor to the Prime Minister

Get off the Grass is a must read for entrepreneurs, business people, CEOs and policy makers. It goes well beyond Wool to Weta to give a Thomas Friedman style overview of the issues we face but the opportunity within our grasp. As Hendy asks in the book’s final sentence: Shall we get on with it? – Peter Griffin

Science is the compass on the voyage we must all make into the twenty-first century. – Sir Paul Callaghan, 2012
