As the nation's capital, Wellington is a place of government and administration. It is also a place for business and entrepreneurship - but we can do better.

Creative HQ, Wellington's innovation hub, is celebrating their 20th birthday this year. As part of their celebrations, they're raising their aspirations to 4x the number of startups that grow in NZ. Sharesies, New Zealand's first low-fee online share investing platform, is one of their success stories.

Join us for a lunch with Sharesies CEO Brooke Roberts and Creative HQ CEO Catherine Jones to hear about the journey starting up a new business - and the lessons for regional economic development in New Zealand.

Brooke was the co-winner of the 2020 Women of Influence - Business award. Catherine Jones is a finalist for 'Inspiring Women Leaders' at this year's New Zealand International Business Awards.

Come along to hear their insights and engage in conversation about what is next for New Zealand.
