Inspiring Stories, Inspiring Women: From COBOL to Cloud to CleanTech

With New Zealand’s increasing focus on India, here is an opportunity to see how Indians in New Zealand have shaped and are shaping the digital landscape in their adopted homeland.

The event showcases women of Indian ethnic origin in Wellington's digital and IT sector. It highlights the significant role women of Indian origin play in digital services in New Zealand.

A relaxed fire-side chat, the session highlights trailblazing journeys, challenges, and triumphs of some truly remarkable women.

They actively shaped and continue to shape the future of digital services in New Zealand and underscores the vital role that diversity and inclusivity play in driving innovation and excellence in the digital age.

Come along to network, connect, be inspired and celebrate the achievements and aspirations of these outstanding women.
