Last week at the 12th annual National Cyber Security Summit in Wellington, we announced the launch of CyberTech New Zealand, a nationally connected tech community within Tech New Zealand.
A strong, visible cyber tech sector strengthens Aotearoa’s economy, builds our reputation as a trusted technology innovator, and contributes to better digital safety for all New Zealanders. CyberTech New Zealand will help bring the ecosystem together, connecting companies, building partnerships across industry, and establishing a cohesive voice and presence for the sector. We’re delighted to have launched with 22 founding member companies, and we’re keen to keep that momentum going.
If your organisation is already a Tech New Zealand member, you can join CyberTech New Zealand at no additional fee as part of your existing membership.
