Talk Title: Hi-Tech manufacturing in New Zealand – Models for success
Too often New Zealand companies, both big and small, assume that manufacturing offshore is the best option. In this talk we will look at:
A brief history of the NZ electronic manufacturing sector over the last 20 years,
Explore the advantages of local manufacture,
What product types are best suited to manufacture in NZ and
What business models can support these.
This will be a very pragmatic session with practical take-aways and the option for a tour of the factory afterwards.
Cost: Free for Canterbury Tech members and students, $25 for non members
