Channel Feature : The Techapuna Initiative
New Zealand’s Silicon Valley? As we constantly bang on about in Channel Magazine, there is a strong group of people who are working very hard to enhance Takapuna. There are lots of initiatives (unfortunately not all of them get good press though!) underway aimed at ensuring that Takapuna fulfils its massive potential. Channel Magazine is unashamedly a huge fan of this progress. It warms our hearts therefore to bring you this story about a particular initiative with the working title “Techapuna”. In short, there is an active group of like-minded people working away to strengthen Takapuna’s emergence as a home for growing IT and related businesses. Takapuna could well be on its way to becoming New Zealand’s Silicon Valley. Channel Magazine’s Aidan Bennett put together this article about the initiative in February. 60
