NEW ZEALAND: BASE CAMP FOR GREAT LEADERSHIP

New Zealand is a natural fit for an award of this nature, widely-respected as a place where innovative science, agriculture and creative industries flourish. From world-class sailing and boat building to film-making, biochemistry and DNA research, this land of the Kiwi influences well beyond its weight in the modern world. New Zealand is recognised internationally for independence and integrity, and is nimble enough in an apolitical manner, to initiate innovative ideas.
