South Sea’s Start-up

Stephen “Warehouse” Tindall, (Forbes: “the Sam [Walmart] Walton of the South Pacific”) backs NZ technology innovation in Red Herring. Citing do-it-yourself Kiwi advances in biotech, multimedia and software (the world’s leading agricultural bio-tech research and the success of Lord of the Rings) Tindall pushes New Zealand forward: “We need our country to be self-sustaining … I refuse to let our inventiveness go to waste – this is my home and I want to see it flourish.”
