 And I know we have a few. Welcome to the University of Auckland's graduation ceremonies. This is our fourth ceremony today. And this one is for the faculty of business and economics. Your students or graduands will be coming in very soon. And do feel free to take photographs of them. But please be considerate of the people around you who might also be wanting to take photographs. After the students process in, they'll be followed by our academics. And then the official party. Please remain standing during this time. And do feel free to join in the singing of Gaudi Amos. Now is a really good time for you to switch off your mobile phone, please. At the end of the ceremony, we will all sing the national anthem together with your graduates. When the official party leaves, the graduates will follow. Please wait until all the graduates have left this auditorium before then following them out. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for your graduands. Please be seated. Inga mana, inga reo, inga ho e fa, tena koto, tena koto, tena koto koto. Vice Chancellor, Pro Chancellor, Council Members, special guests, staff, graduands, family and friends of graduands. As Chancellor of the University of Auckland, I extend a warm welcome to you all on behalf of University Council Members and staff of the University. In particular, I welcome our guest speaker, Mr. Fady Mishriki. This is a meeting of the Council of the University of Auckland for the purpose of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. This week, we will be conferring and awarding more than 7,000 qualifications on some 6,400 students in person and in absentia. At this ceremony, 483 students will graduate in person and 118 students will graduate in absentia. I will be assisted by Mr. Peter Kiley, Pro Chancellor, in awarding diplomas and conferring degrees today. This is a happy and memorable occasion for you, the graduands, as well as your family and friends who have supported you during your studies. We congratulate you all. Equally, your achievement brings pleasure and satisfaction to the academic and professional staff of the University who have played their part in your success. The graduation procession today brought academic flavor and color to the streets of Auckland. And in this ceremony, you'll experience the pomp and tradition befitting your well-deserved day of celebration. Over a period of 130 years, the University of Auckland has become a comprehensive research-led university with a strong international reputation. Today, there are more than 40,000 students and 5,000 staff. Moreover, we are New Zealand's largest research organization with one-third of the country's externally rated world-class academic researchers. Within New Zealand, only our university is ranked within the top 1% of the world's universities. We have a strong commitment to Maori and Pacific education. Of all the Maori degree graduates in New Zealand each year, 25% come from just one institution, the University of Auckland. The figure for Pacific graduates is 40%. We jealously guard our position amongst our competitor universities and are always looking to create new opportunities for all our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Last month, we confirmed the purchase of the 5.2 hectare former Lion Brewery's site on Kuiper Pass. This purchase will provide the university with a site for expansion over the next 50 years. It is contiguous with the city and graph and campuses and with the major business area and new market. We will occupy the first of the new facilities in November 2014. So as you graduate, please reflect on ongoing learning opportunities and consider the wide range of postgraduate options available to you at Auckland. I ask you to consider that because we can never rest on our laurels, especially in a challenging and ever-changing world. Whatever path you follow, I urge you as the alumni of New Zealand's leading university to never forget your alma mater. We rely on our graduates for support, moral, political, and financial. Funding constraints are a perennial problem for New Zealand universities who are being asked to do more and more with less and less each year. In fact, in these hard times, we should be spending more on universities, not less. But that is enough of the substantial issues facing us all as members of a 21st century university with high aspirations. Today is your day with the focus firmly on your achievement. At this ceremony, we honor your success, along with the support of your family, whanau, and others who have sustained you through your studies. I congratulate you and trust that you will long cherish the memories of your graduation today. I am delighted to welcome as our guest speaker, Fadi Meshriki, an alumnus of the University of Auckland and the chief executive of Power by Proxy, which he co-founded. Fadi has a bachelor's degree in engineering and commerce. By the time he'd completed his project on wireless electricity for his engineering degree, Fadi knew he was on to something. Wireless electricity using electromagnetic induction was not new, but he saw a way to make it feasible for an array of electronic devices to deliver unplugged power. The result was Power by Proxy, which he founded in 2007. Fadi was involved with both Spark, the university entrepreneurship competition, and later the Icehouse. During his company's gestation, he secured the company's first major break with John Deere, the world's largest maker of farm and forest equipment based in the USA. He has since led Power by Proxy to acquire a further 30 customers, with six of these being Fortune 100 companies. While the company has global reach with all of its customers located outside New Zealand, Fadi firmly believes that Auckland is the home of wireless power. He is passionate about New Zealand entrepreneurship and continues to take an active interest in nurturing New Zealand talent. Please welcome with me the stage Fadi Mishrieki. Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, members of council, members of the university, graduands, families, and friends. It is truly my honor to address you today as a very proud alumnus of this fine university. I'd like to start by congratulating all of you graduands. You will leave today with an outstanding education from an outstanding university, one that I can personally attest to both in my career and in the many fine graduates we hire into our company from this university. I remember sitting where you are today eight years ago, trying to work out what I should do next. Today, I thought I would firstly share what happened after I walked out of those doors and secondly, leave you with a big challenge. After graduating, I decided to found my company. I had two unsuccessful starts, but in 2007, almost three years after I graduated, Power by Proxy was born. It was a time when many friends and peers had decided to go on OEs or take jobs overseas. And it would have been very easy to just give up and do the same. But I genuinely felt I could build something of global significance from New Zealand. And I decided to stay behind and do exactly that. One of my favorite quotes by George Bernard Shaw reads, the reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. So recently, I was transiting in London when an article on rugby in the evening standard caught my attention. Specifically, a paragraph that said, in nearly all else apart from rugby, New Zealand as a nation is a model of humility and reasonableness. The opposite is true when it comes to rugby. They expect to win, demand to win. And when they don't, it is as if not just the players wearing the fabled black shirt, but the whole nation has failed. I started to imagine what New Zealand would be like if every single one of you graduating today applied that attitude to win. To endeavors that create prosperity, that ultimately enable us to build the best schools, the best universities, hospitals, roads, stadiums, and so on and so forth, and be the envy of the world. What would our country look like then? So sitting where you are today, I decided to start my career living on 10K a year, selling everything I owned on trade meat to bootstrap a business with absolutely no guaranteed chance of success. Why on earth would you want to do that? Some would call it madness. My mom's a doctor and she certainly did. I prefer the term unreasonable-ness, but they could be the same thing. As a kid, I also managed to electrocute myself three times, experimenting with Maine's power. So it's not surprising that I now want to unwire the world. We were born, taught, and nurtured in the Spark Business Planning Competition, which is a really fantastic initiative of this faculty. I was also supported by many other parts of the rapidly developing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Too many parts to mention here today. Movaq, who was famous for the early investment in trade meat, provided the capital to fund our global expansion plans and set up our first office in the USA. More recently, we closed the US$5 million strategic investment from TE Connectivity, a New York stock exchange listed company with a market capitalization of over US$20 billion. We now employ over 50 people and have offices in Auckland, in Silicon Valley, and also in Atlanta. In the process, we have also funded many internships and many scholarships at this university. We've done that since day one, since 14th of August 2007, even as the company was not profitable. Our customers today view us as the global leader in our space, and they include some of the largest companies in the world, including many significant names from Japan, Korea, Europe, as well as the USA. Many are in the Fortune 100 and Fortune 500. It can be done from New Zealand. When I look out across this hall, I see the future of this country and the businesses that will make it prosper. So my challenge to you graduating today is to think about how you can take advantage of the world-class entrepreneurial ecosystem we have in New Zealand. Think about how you can create great businesses here and bring prosperity to New Zealand yourself and others who may choose to join you. To those retiring in the next decade or two, and maybe some of you teachers, some of the parents in the room, those who have supported these young graduates, I also have a challenge for you. Think about how you can support and invest in a young graduate. I certainly would not be here today speaking to you had I not had people invest and support me. I'd especially recommend you do this if you want to enjoy a fully funded retirement. You'll know we've succeeded and the nation's future is secure when the next generation's dream of building big global businesses from New Zealand. Businesses in which they expect and demand to win on the global stage. Graduates, you have a world-class education, a brilliant foundation to build on and to become this nation's next unreasonable men and women in anything you choose to do. Let us all hope that New Zealand's next Fonterra scale business is created by one of you sitting in this room. Congratulations to you all once again and thank you. Freddie, what a most inspiring and challenging address. I think we could do more with more people like you throwing the gauntlet down in front of us. Can I ask you all to join with me in thanking Fady once more? This is a meeting of council in convocation of the university at which the pro chancellor, Peter Keiley and I will be conferring degrees and awarding diplomas.
