New Zealand’s annual festival of innovation, Techweek, is happening between 19 – 27 May. The focus is on fostering the growth of NZ’s technology and innovation sectors by providing “a week-long opportunity for connection and cross-pollination, and an independent platform through which to amplify New Zealand’s unique and inspiring innovation stories to the world.” The theme this year is on innovation that’s good for the world.
