The Israel-New Zealand Economic Ecosystem
Dr Sheree Trotter was recently invited by David Wanetick of Solution Nation to join a discussion about the Israel-New Zealand relationship and economic ecosystem, along with Josh Brown of the New Zealand Israel Innovation Hub.
Wanetick has authored the book Solution Nation in which he profiles 62 of Israel’s most promising companies. He shows that in addition to developing and commercializing cutting-edge technologies, all of the companies included in Solution Nation are dedicated to solving intractable challenges. Some the world’s most disadvantaged and destitute people are beneficiaries of Israeli ingenuity. Readers are introduced to Israeli companies that are detecting cervical cancer and heart failure, preventing amputations and auto accidents, helping the blind see, enabling the paralyzed to stand, purifying water in the wake of natural disasters, taming starvation, and rescuing people from burning buildings.
Trotter and Brown discussed New Zealand’s Jewish history, the special relationship between New Zealand’s indigenous tribes and Israel and the history of the New Zealand Israel relationship. These are some of the questions covered in the podcast.
Why doesn’t New Zealand have an embassy in Israel?
Why aren’t New Zealand and Israel better aligned at the United Nations?
Are New Zealand’s indigenous people considered one of Israel’s lost tribes?
What is the basis of the special relationship between New Zealand’s indigenous people and Israel?
How effective is the New Zealand BDS initiative?
Why might Israeli customs repel the importation of goods from New Zealand?
Why might New Zealand be an ideal location for Israel to launch its rockets?
Which Israeli technologies are most needed in New Zealand?
