This week I’m looking forward to attending the 2022 Hi-Tech Awards in Wellington on Friday night. At last year’s awards, it was a special time for NZTech, being awarded for the best contribution to the New Zealand tech sector. The black-tie gala dinner is always a highlight of the year, celebrating the amazing people and companies of the tech sector. A special call-out to many of our members who are Hi-Tech Award finalists.

As we shoot past the halfway point of 2022 and take time for Matariki reflections, I’m excited for the sector growth opportunities ahead. I’m especially grateful for developing relationships in person. In the next few months we will see agritech visitors coming to New Zealand and agritech innovators heading overseas. This is the time to form and cement new relationships.
