WREDA stories
New Zealand's capital is pioneering GovTech, a venture to modernise public services by blending government expertise with private sector innovation.
Technology is spreading beyond startups in New Zealand, lifting banking, farming and tourism while making tech the fastest-growing industry.
WREDA is in discussion with economic development agencies in Christchurch and Auckland in relation to expanding the talent attraction programme.
So far, 64 of the 93 tech specialists have either accepted job offers or are in discussion with Wellington employers after WREDA's LookSee programme.
Wellington has immense value to the tech sector and will become more important as IT influence extends beyond the enterprise, WREDA says.
