For the first time we are partnering with the University Commercialisation Offices of New Zealand (UCONZ) who are hosting the evening networking event and display. The aim of UCONZ and the University-Business Partnerships Initiative is to create stronger university and business partnerships by helping to bring business needs together with university research and identify matches to create value in the New Zealand economy.

The Universities will be showcasing and promoting their research capabilities and latest ICT innovations, and providing a platform for feedback from the business sector.
