Silicon Welly Launch

The New Zealand technology industry is in better shape than ever, and it’s great to see that after all the efforts by the teams working hard across the country through some often very capital constrained times, the quality of our technology products and people are world class. Wellington has had its fair share of successes this year and two major deals Tradme and Aftermail have really helped play there part in raising the awareness of whats happening here in the middle of the country, They’re big deals, and the great thing is they’re the tip of an iceberg that is Silicon Welly.

We’ve been talking with tech businesses across Wellington for some time and I’m always in conversation with some of Wellingtons entrepreneurs about promoting Wellingtons position as a technology hub, pulling us together even tighter, sharing our knowledge and experiences, and helping raise our profile to investors, customers and the best talent. The outcome of this is something everyone is calling Silicon Welly.
