Christchurch expects an influx of entrepreneurs, techies, aerospacers and digital disruptors from 5 to 12 September as the city hosts three of Aotearoa’s leading innovation events.
If technology and innovation are at the fore of your work, study or passions, then buckle up for Innovate Ōtautahi – a week of inspiration and connection as Christchurch hosts the Canterbury Tech Summit 2023, the Innovation Expo 2023 and the New Zealand Aerospace Summit 2023.
The three events coalesce to form Innovate Ōtautahi which will offer a smorgasbord of international speakers, NZ thought-leaders, panel sessions, Q&As, exhibitions and of course plenty of opportunity to network and connect unlike any opportunity before.
Christchurch has been recognised in the top 250 cities globally for its successful innovation ecosystem, and the city is poised and ready to show off its growing tech, innovation and aerospace sectors during the highly anticipated week.
All three events will be hosted in the world-class Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, which is located at the heart of the city centre – right beside the Ōtakaro Avon River, close to many CBD dining and retail options, and a short walk from the innovation and health precincts for those wishing to make connections with local businesses.
Here’s a rundown of what to expect during Innovate Ōtautahi:
