Private sector investment in Queenstown\u2019s plans to become a niche tech ecosystem could bring them to fruition.\xa0

Adopting an Australia and Asia Pacific backed funding model for the required $1 million a year could help with taking a 20-year view as opposed to relying on the three year electoral cycle.\xa0

Paul Spain, Gorilla Technology\u2019s CEO, told Mike Hosking that it\u2019s encouraging to see businesses backing the initiative.\xa0

He said that the size of the Queenstown Lakes district means that there\u2019s only so much funding, support, and time that local councils can put in.\xa0
