On 11 June 2020, the TalentNZ Menu of Initiatives publication and website were launched at a public event in Wellington. Over 100 people (including MPs, mayors and councillors) attended this event. Speakers included Sam Morgan (who launched the Menu), and the contributors of the 2020 TalentNZ Journal  who each spoke for five minutes about one of the Menu’s 28 initiatives. Patrick Nolan, whose video is featured below, spoke about creating hubs – the fifth initiative in the Connect category.

Patrick Nolan is the Principal advisor at the New Zealand Productivity Commission. Previously he worked at Reform, a British think tank focused on public policy and economic prosperity.
