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. Sam Morgan launched the Menu and spoke about why creating a talent-based economy is important. We were also joined by contributors of the 2020 TalentNZ Journal who each spoke for five minutes about one of the 28 initiatives from the Menu.

Sam is best known as the founder of Trade Me, but now spends his time as a business investor and philanthropist. We have been very fortunate to have Sam’s support throughout our work on the TalentNZ Project.
