LandWISE – An Official Techweek 2019 Event

LandWISE 2019 is an official part of Techweek2019. Information about the Conference is here>. This post tells a little about the big Techweek concept, and has some glimpses of our history since our origins in a paddock in 1999.

The intention behind Techweek is simple. New Zealand’s technology and innovation sectors are growing rapidly, and Techweek fosters that growth by providing the national ecosystem with a week-long opportunity for connection and cross-pollination, using an independent platform to amplify New Zealand’s unique and inspiring innovation stories to the world.

Why is LandWISE part of Techweek? Because it is a perfect fit!
