Influencing positive economic and social change

Our Purpose

Collectively, we see a prosperous future for New Zealand underpinned by technology. TechLeaders Executive is a not-for-profit membership group who benefit from private networking opportunities, the ability to work together to address significant issues, learning opportunities for their teams, exposure and positioning as a technology leader.

Our key purpose is to actively contribute to the prosperity of New Zealand through influencing positive economic and social change. We provide an independent platform for bringing together leaders across industry and government. The TechLeaders Executive was initially launched in 2017 by NZTech and is now part of TUANZ.

We work together on activities that will make a positive impact on New Zealand and the New Zealand business environment.
