SUMMARY:​​Immigration and the future of the tech sector
DESCRIPTION:NZ needs more tech-minded people\, not less. What immigration policy settings best facilitate this? \nPlease join NZTech and the Productivity Commission for an in-depth look at New Zealand immigration policy vis-à-vis the growing demand for tech specialists.  \nMigrant labour plays a significant role in the tech sector. As countries plan their economic recovery from COVID-19\, many are recalibrating their immigration policies to ensure they can get the people and skills they need. In effect\, New Zealand competes against these countries to secure the knowledge it needs to support transformational goals. The Productivity Commission has been tasked by the government to review policies with an eye toward these goals. \nWhat effect has access to migrant labour had on training\, job conditions and technology adoption by firms? What more can immigration policy do to attract specialist ‘high-impact’ people? How can New Zealand best leverage diaspora to enhance productivity growth? We talk to those at the forefront of these pressing issues.  \nDates are subject to Government announcements \n\nSupported by:     \n\nCovid Update:\nWe are committed to running safe events\, aligned with Government Alert Level 2 protocols.  To ensure you and fellow guests remain safe\, please follow these steps: \n\nOn arrival\n\nplease wear a mask\nscan in with the NZ COVID-19 Tracer app\nregister with our events team using the QR code on your ticket\nCollect your name tag\, directly from the printer\n\n\n\n\nDuring the event\n\nPlease remain one metre apart from others\nSeating will be one metre apart from others\nFollowing the presentation\, you are welcome to go to the bar for a non-alcoholic beverage\, however you must return to your seat.\n\n\n\nThank you for your understanding and support to keep everyone safe at our events.
