'FutureVision 2008' benefits from legal sponsorship

01 Oct 2008

As the 'Premier Commercial Legal Partner' of NZBio, New Zealand's Biotechnology Industry Organisation, Simpson Grierson is proud to be the key sponsor of their inaugural 'FutureVision 2008' event. 

FutureVision 2008 will showcase visionary speakers and demonstrate thought-leadership around the future of New Zealand's economy through the creation of a stainable bio economy. 

The impressive line-up of speakers, Roger Kerr - New Zealand Business Round Table, Jim Watson - PurePowerGlobal and Mark Ward - Crop and Food Research Ltd, will lead a panel discussion, followed by a networking event, 4pm - 7pm, Tuesday 14 October, at Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland.

Given the current events in the global financial markets, the tightening of liquidity worldwide and a national election on the horizon, the future of our bioeconomy is likely to be a hot topic over the coming months - making the thought leadership that emerges from this event, all the more critical.

 Simpson Grierson has New Zealand's leading life sciences practice and our biosciences experts look forward to participating in FutureVision 2008. Partner, Michael Sage, will be chairing the event.
