From tourism to tech: building a stronger economy and better futures

We have a rare opportunity to shape the Queenstown Lakes tech sector from the ground up.

We are building a world-leading tech sector to create a more resilient, diversified economy, and give our kids the opportunity to build meaningful tech careers right here at home.

The world’s best tech hubs don’t try to be everything — they focus.

We have started with people and growing a strong local talent pipeline through education and industry connection.

And we want to become famous for something. For Queenstown Lakes, that’s clear. We’re doubling down on our natural advantage as one of the world’s most iconic tourism destinations and build a Travel Tech hub.

This is just the beginning. From here, we build momentum, deepen capability, and will expand the ecosystem over time.
