Innovation showcase
Where innovation takes place

On 7 December we took over the Beehive to celebrate New Zealand innovators working to solve some of Aotearoa’s most urgent challenges.
From tackling migrant exploitation, to developing a new approach to foster care, 14 GovTech Accelerator teams that have been taking on Aotearoa’s biggest social and environmental challenges presented their projects. If you missed it, you can re-watch the showcase here.
A special shout out to the Ngā Mihi team that took home the $50,000 grand prize, sponsored by the Westpac NZ Government Innovation Fund. Read more about this and other highlights here.
