Startup Advisors Council - Hamilton

The Startup Advisors Council (the Council) is established for a 12-month term to support greater alignment of government interventions to develop New Zealand’s startup ecosystem, enabling more targeted policies to address areas of greatest need.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) provide the Secretariat role to the Council. MBIE's role is to facilitate the Council to enable more startups to be created and scaled up, and accelerate the growth and maturation of the ecosystem to unlock the potential of innovative New Zealand companies.

The Startup Council are running a series of townhall events to engage directly with the startup community.  We will provide you with guidance around the vision we are targeting, some of the actions we are taking and hear from you around the challenges startups are facing.  We keen to remain solutions focused in nature.  

This will be a lightly facitilated event with Council Members, Imche Fourie and Carl Jones in attendance along with MBIE officials to capture and document outcomes.  

Light refreshments will be provided and the venue.
