Empowering Aotearoa New Zealand’s Digital Future
You’re invited to the launch of NZTech’s latest landmark report: Empowering Aotearoa New Zealand’s Digital Future – Our National Data Centre Infrastructure.
Data centres are the backbone of our digital lives, powering everything from essential government services and healthcare to banking, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence (AI). As data centre demand rises, so does the need for a resilient and sustainable energy supply. This sector is playing a pivotal role in New Zealand’s transition to a low-carbon future and helping to future-proof the electricity grid.
Discover what’s really happening with New Zealand’s booming data centre sector and what it means for our economy, communities and our digital future. Meet the data centre operators and electricity providers driving this transformation, and hear directly from Hon Simon Watts, Minister for Energy and Climate Change, and Graeme Muller, CEO, NZTech.
Join us and find out:
- how data centres power our everyday lives and the scale of New Zealand’s data centre sector
- how the sector is fuelling economic growth and generating thousands of jobs
- why New Zealand’s data centres are global leaders in energy efficiency and driving investment in new wind, solar and geothermal projects
- how New Zealand is uniquely positioned to become a regional hub for sustainable digital exports.
