About Auckland Startup Week
20–24 October 2025
Auckland Startup Week is a comprehensive programme designed to celebrate and showcase the great companies, ideas and people all shaping Auckland’s reputation as a global city of innovation.
The natural advantage
Auckland's unique blend of laid-back lifestyle and an environment that fosters curiosity, innovation and problem-solving isn't just about quality of life — it's our competitive edge.
The New Zealand way
We don't just build differently — we think differently. Our unique location has bred resourcefulness, our size has cultivated pragmatism, and our culture has instilled an instinctive bias toward action.
Connected independence
While we may be geographically distant, we're digitally native and globally connected. Auckland's startup ecosystem leverages our renowned ‘two degrees of separation’ network to create unparalleled access to decision-makers.
