Wellington Tech Sector Strategy Launch Event
Event description
The Wellington region is well known as the home of some of the world's most innovative technology companies including Xero, Sharesies, Hnry, Volpara and many more.
Our technology sector is vital; it enables us to lead, not just consume world changing products, it creates high value jobs and supports our mission to create a more sustainable future.
WellingtonNZ, AngelHQ and Creative HQ have developed 'Scale-up Wellington' - a series of goals and initiatives to grow our technology sector in the next decade.
If you’re a founder, worker, investor, or otherwise involved with Wellington’s technology ecosystem, join us for drinks and nibbles, hear the strategy and learn how the various initiatives we'll be announcing could support you
The night will feature WellingtonNZ's John Allen, our technology sector lead Rebekah Campbell and a special talk from Mahesh Muralidhar called 'How to build a unicorn.'
Mahesh Murlidhar has recently returned from Australia where he founded a startup which was acquired by Canva and he became the first Head of People. He also built the 'people' capability at Airtasker which listed on the ASX in 2021. Mahesh is currently the CEO of Phase One Ventures in Auckland and has developed his 'How to build a unicorn' presentation to help anyone working or investing in startups how to identify and grow a world changing company.
