Otago is one of the "hot beds" of New Zealand’s innovation sector, New Zealand Hi-Tech Trust chairman David Downs told those attending Dunedin’s first-ever NZ Hi-Tech Awards event yesterday.
More than 160 people attended the event, hosted on-site by United Machinists, where attendees were surrounded by autonomous machines manufacturing everything from prosthetics to aerospace components.
It coincided with the trust’s board meeting in the city.
