Whangarei helps host one of the largest tech innovation events in Australasia on the weekend beginning Friday July 3.

The sponsors say a lot about how much Kiwi tech talent is valued – HP, Google, IAG, MIT, MBIE are all sponsoring the event. Our ultra beautiful city will lend its ultra fast broadband.

Here’s how GovHack works: over a weekend, competing teams take a piece of open access local government data, then convert that data into something the public can use.
