Become a Techweek Sponsor

Techweek has grown into Aotearoa New Zealand’s biggest week of technology and innovation — connecting people, celebrating success, and showcasing how Kiwi ideas can make life better for business, people and planet.

It's more than just a platform; it’s a nationwide moment to connect with the tech community, government, global audiences, and everyday New Zealanders shaping our digital future.

Techweek has been sparking the national conversation about New Zealand technology for more than a decade…
It offers the most impactful opportunity to launch, amplify and action existing tech-focused kaupapa, and share it with New Zealand.

Why sponsor Techweek?

As a sponsor, you’re not just backing an event — you’re helping shape New Zealand’s innovation story. Sponsorship gives you:

  • Visibility → Put your brand at the centre of a nationwide moment, alongside New Zealand’s leading tech organisations.
  • Connection → Build meaningful relationships with government, industry leaders, international delegations and investors through Techweek26 headline events.
  • Engagement → Reach young people and communities, inspiring the next generation of Kiwi innovators.
  • Impact → Align with a festival dedicated to how technology can strengthen our economy, improve lives and tackle big challenges.

Techweek26 Themes

The Techweek26 programme is shaped by six themes — and these themes are led by our strategic sponsors.

  1. Foundations – Tech strengthening our national infrastructure
  2. Future – Emerging technologies and breakthrough innovation
  3. Growth – Tech growing New Zealand’s economy
  4. Life – Tech making everyday life easier
  5. Social Good – Tech solving social challenges
  6. Governance – Frameworks to guide tech responsibly

Sponsorship Opportunities

Techweek26 offers a flexible range of opportunities for partners to align with different audiences and areas of impact.

  • Strategic Theme Sponsors
    Techweek26 is structured around six areas of impact — from “Foundations” to “Social Good.” Strategic theme sponsors can align their brand with one of these areas and co-create key events in our headline programming.

  • GovConnect & Policy Engagement
    Techweek takes tech into Parliament — connecting industry leaders with policymakers and ministers to explore how technology can support Aotearoa’s future. Sponsors have the chance to help lead these high-profile conversations to ensure Aotearoa is prepared for what the future holds.

  • Ecosystem Showcases
    Bus tours of tech ecosystem hubs in the nation's major centres will connect international visitors with inspiring companies, founders and researchers.

  • Nationwide Tech Activation
    In 2026 for the first time, we're looking for a forward-thinking sponsor to help us run a nationwide activation designed to engage all audiences — from students to businesses to the wider public — in a synchronised celebration of the potential and possibilities of tech.

  • Regional Engagement
    With grassroots programmes taking place across the country, sponsors can connect their brand with local innovation stories and communities while being part of the national stage.
