Graeme Muller: Tech New Zealand CEO on the call for bipartisan government support for the technology sector
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
A new report highlights a need for bipartisan support for New Zealand’s tech sector.
It’s currently our fastest growing sector, outstripping meat, wine, and wood combined, and has the potential to hit $30 billion a year within a decade.
They've sent a manifesto to MPs, warning that a lack of cohesive policies may stifle the sector’s growth.
Tech NZ CEO Graeme Muller told Mike Hosking some things need to be put in place to allow a digital economy to really fly, and only a government is able to do some of it.
He says like infrastructure, technology has multi-year investments, so both or all parties need to get on board and understand how important it is.
