As part of its combined Tripartite 2019 and Techweek19 programme, the event will feature international speakers and panellists in an innovation showcase, discussing topics such as new trends in public/private sector data sharing, digital tech in creative storytelling, and using tech to trace food quality and provenance.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says the Tripartite Economic Alliance has been an important mechanism for the cities to exchange information and opportunities.
The event is part of the five-year-old Tripartite Economic Alliance, between Auckland and its long-term partner cities, forged to boost economic, trade and investment opportunities between the three cities and deepen Auckland’s connections with two of the economic powerhouses in the Asia-Pacific region.
Tripartite 2019 will also feature networking and business matching, pitching sessions for Auckland businesses to present their opportunities to international investors, site visits to Auckland’s screen post-production facilities, and options to connect with the region’s Māori businesses and heritage.
Pam Ford is General Manager Economic Development for Auckland Tourism, Event and Economic Development (ATEED), which delivers the Tripartite Economic Alliance business programme on behalf of the Auckland Council family.
Techweek19 will be held from May 20-26.
