Global perspectives. Practical insights. Regional opportunity.  

ThinkTech Kāpiti is the district’s flagship tech and innovation event, bringing together founders, business leaders, investors, professionals and emerging talent for a day of insight and connection.

Across the programme, speakers will cover how technology is being applied across industries including AI, infrastructure, game development, agritech and aerospace, alongside perspectives from those building and scaling businesses in New Zealand and internationally.

The focus is not just on ideas, but on what these shifts mean in practice, for businesses, for jobs, and for regions like Kāpiti.

Key speakers include Anna Kominik (aerospace), Dr Sandhya Sriram (Sprout Agritech), Dave Moskowitz (Global Entrepreneurship Network), Joy Keene (GDANZ), and a mix of local founders, advisors and industry leaders.

Workshops are included as part of the day, covering practical areas such as improving marketing content using Canva’s advanced tools, and understanding how AI is changing recruitment and the job market.

This is an opportunity to hear directly from people working in these spaces, understand what’s changing, and take away ideas that can be applied in your own business.
