Hawke's bay startup weekend!

Introduction

Hawkes bay startup weekend is where entrepreneurs, developers, and designers get together to form new businesses in a 54-hour marathon of inspiration, perspiration, collaboration, and fun! We attract people with all skill levels in a friendly, welcoming, yet challenging environment.
People with technology related ideas share their ideas, form teams, build products, and launch new startup companies. Web developers, designers, marketers, product managers and start up enthusiasts come together to pitch in and develop ideas into working business models.
This year, there is a focus on developing ideas from the rural and food production sectors. We want people to come forward with ideas on primary industry innovation and how to improve things on the land using technology as tools.
So if you have a killer idea, can write code or make a widget, or can design things then join us at the best entrepreneurial event Hawkes Bay has ever seen!
