Our Founding Patrons

Techweek supporters BNZ

At BNZ we recognise the importance of the tech sector as a whole and the part we have to play in it. We have a responsibility to our customers to keep pace with change and to challenge the way we have done things in the past. Our involvement as a Founding Patron of Techweek'17, our membership of NZTech and our participation in the establishment of FinTechNZ enable us to contribute to and learn from the sector. The combined Tech Sector is a major and growing contributor to the New Zealand economy. Many tech companies have global ambitions and to realise them they require additional expertise and working capital. We want to be an enabler for tech companies and make it easy for them to access expertise and capital to realise their ambitions. By actively contributing to the sector we hope to play a positive role in its future growth. Connor Shelley, Head of Partners Transformation & Innovation.
