Rod Drury spoke at our Extenda launch last night about the compelling nature of investment in R&D by ICT companies .. thanks Rod, an enjoyable night, to be repeated.

"In New Zealand we seldom give ourselves time to do R&D. You cannot separate R&D from investment.

This lack of investment means that we do not invest in R&D to create digital assets, rather we fall back to capital-light service type businesses where our valuable talent is deployed to simply charge time. This is an inefficient use of our most precious natural resource.

The bottom line is that as an industry we are inexperienced in R&D. The Extenda program provides an academic framework and peer discussion opportunity to accelerate your R&D program. There are only 10 slots and at least 4 have gone so register quickly if you are interested."
