NZ Hi-Tech awards

Entries to the 2014 NZ Hi-Tech Awards closed on 3 March with a record number of entries – 38 percent up on last 2013.

Entry levels across all categories were extremely strong with year-onyear growth in eleven out of the 12 categories.

“This is a sensational result for the Hi-Tech awards,” said NZ Hi-Tech Trust chair, Wayne Norrie.

“It's not only a testament to the great talent we have coming through, but also shows that our established companies are continuing to prosper here and offshore. Our local and international judging panels now have the mammoth task of carefully reviewing all these entries to come up with our finalists.”

The winners will be revealed on 16 May.

“It's really exciting and inspiring to see such support from entrants, sponsors and our judges as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the awards,” said Norrie.
