A record 300 companies entered the 2025 Hi-Tech Awards, organisers say.
New Zealand’s depth of tech talent is reflected in the line-up of finalists this year, according to Marian Johnson, chairwoman of the Hi-Tech Trust, who says the standard of entries continue to grow every year.
“It’s awesome to havereceived a huge number of entries this year as we celebrated the 30th of the awards. We have come so far as a sector in that time and the growth in the Hi-Tech Awards truly reflects how far the industry has come. Entries have come from right across the country and cover so many diverse technologies,” says Johnson.
“We applaud the ever-increasing diversity of the sector.
“The hi-tech sector is valued at over $17 billion and growing. It’s inspiring to see the success that so many of our companies enjoy on the international stage. This sector continues to prove its resilience and is at the forefront of our export economy.”
Results will be announced at a gala dinner on Friday, May 23 at the TSB Arena in Wellington, with an expected audience of 1000-plus.
