His group won the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise Challenge, to create an international marketing strategy for an agri-tech product. They gave a presentation about a vapour which would protect honey bees from the varroa mite parasite. All eight members of the group won scholarships. Allan said the trip made him grow in confidence as he had to talk to large groups of people. ‘‘And I met some awesome people.’
