Navigating the Future: Tech Economic Insights with Jarrod Kerr
Event description
ð£ Join us for a forward thinking evening, where we will dive into an in-depth view on the Kiwi Tech economy, focussing on the pressure points for Kiwi businesses. We are at an interesting point in the economic cycle. The RBNZ has inflicted much pain, in the pursuit of price stability. They are winning the war on inflation. And their next move is likely to be a cut, this year. In doing so, we should see an uplift in activity. Thereâs light at the end of the tunnel. ð¡
This evening will be a great opportunity to hear from Jarrod Kerr, and spend some time networking with fellow Tech Leaders and Business Owners, while enjoying some nibbles and refreshments ð¥
