Morgo 2007 update - Scaling up
This is the first chance I’ve had all day to write something about this great conference. The theme this year is about scaling up your business when you want to go global (or at least, international). We’re hearing lots of success stories (and lessons learnt) from Kiwi, Ozzie and Brit perspectives.
Someone asked me over breakfast how I thought things had changed from an NZ export conference I’d addressed in 1999. My answer was “confidence”. We’ve got more hi-tech entrepreneurs, more successful international hi-tech businesses, and greater aspirations. I see lots of businesses here that are aiming for $100m annual turnover, and one or two who genuinely believe that they can scale to $1 billion businesses. That was almost unheard of 10 years ago. The buzz in the air is fantastic. Let’s spread it to the rest of the country.
Update: Herald tech journo Peter Griffin is blogging from Morgo as well.
