Insights from our Executive Director 

The more I work in this role the more excited I am about the convergence of once-siloed technologies across multidisciplinary teams. Recently, we had the privilege of attending the Aerospace Summit in Christchurch, where we see the convergence of biology, chemistry, physics and data, all under the umbrella of tech. It’s an incredibly exciting future, and we need to continue shaping our sector and sharing our story to inspire the next generation. In this light, we extend our congratulations to our new Executive Council members, who play a vital role in guiding this journey and helping set our course.
