Meet Up #28 - Start Me Up!

We recently held our 28th Aerospace Meet Up. The occasion served as the official launch of our new programme, Start Me Up Mentoring, which aims to assist and mentor individuals through to Start Ups, in an effort to encourage innovation right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The "Start Me Up Mentoring" programme is a critical development phase for New Zealand's growing aerospace sector. The programme offers a clear path and support for prospective start up owners, and founders to network with seasoned industry leaders and obtain insightful advice on founding a start up in the Aerospace Sector, along with access to cutting edge facilities from our supporters. The programme is positioned to drive growth and support the development of cutting-edge aerospace technology by encouraging innovation, creativity, and collaboration. Learn more here.

In addition to introducing the "Start Me Up Mentoring" programme, the Aerospace Meet Up gave attendees a great chance to network, specifically with a facilitated networking session at the end of the Meet Up.

Speaking at the Meet Up were:

  • Mekdim Tasfaye, Co-Founder, Oasis Orbital Systems

  • Michelle Polglase, Commercialisation Manager, Kiwi Net 

  • Nick Jackson, CTO, Pyper Vision

  • Gerard Quinn, Director, Centre for Entrepreneurship, University of Canterbury

Overall a highly successful, Start Me Up programme launch, and Meet Up.
