Series one, done.
Series two, here we come!
We have an exciting lineup of events on the way. If you're interested in joining us for future meetups, feel free to sign up to be in the loop.

A rising tide lifts all boats
In late 2024 Waipā District Council, Soda Inc and Rocketspark came together to plan a series of tech meetups in 2025.
Our mission for the Waipā Tech Meetup is to bring together the local tech community where we can learn from and help each other as we take on the world from the Waipā District.
Discover insights, build networks, and connect with local experts who are happy to share their knowledge and wisdom.
From Tractors to Tech - A Founder's Journey
In the first of this new series, we'll hear from Andre Syben, Founder and Director of AgTechNZ, who'll share his journey starting an agricultural machinery company and taking it to the world by embracing agricultural technology.
Here's a snapshot of what he'll cover:
The journey beyond year one: how starting up is only the beginning, and the real challenge is sustaining growth
How technology has transformed the way his business operates since he first started out
The importance of agility in business and responding quickly to change
The value of networks and relationships in building business resilience
Waipā as a supportive, easy-to-navigate environment for businesses
