Entrepreneurs, innovators, and problem-solvers spent 54 hours turning an idea into a potential business.
Startup Weekend Taranaki is designed for entrepreneurs who want feedback on an idea, a co-founder, funders, or other support.
This was the fifth time the event had been held in Taranaki and for the first time it was brought to Hāwera.
Event organiser Katherine Blaney says Startup Taranaki is about supporting entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial thinkers.
