Techweek’18 Waikato
All of last week, New Zealand was proud to show off all the latest and greatest in tech and innovation at Techweek’18. This year there were a ton of events all throughout the Waikato region, from 19 to 27 May.
While we are based in Auckland, the awesome people of Techweek invited us down to Hamilton for two of their many events to exhibit. We managed to catch a few presentations as well, which was great!
On Monday 21 May we attended the CultivateIT Emerging Tech Expo at the Waikato Innovation Park. A great location housing many innovative local companies. The presentations revealed how the Waikato region is the fastest growing tech region in New Zealand right now, which is great to see!
Then on the Wednesday we made our way to the absolutely stunning Zealong Tea Estate, the only one of its kind in New Zealand. Focusing on IoT and Health & Well-being, this expo was a great fit for us and it was awesome to see a great turnout and to be surrounded by other startups who are trying to make the world a better place.
We heard about Indici, a new doctor’s practice management system that’s looking to change the way people think about managing their health information. We also saw innovations being made to make people’s homes safer in cases of emergencies — IoT devices that make it easier to get out of a house that’s on fire, for example.
To those who came and chatted to us during these two events, thank you! If you have any further questions or just want to talk, please feel free to flick us an email.
We also wanted to extend a BIG thank you to the organisers of Techweek’18 Waikato! It was a great experience for us!
