It takes collaboration to create a community. With the Nelson-Tasman region increasingly becoming a hub for innovators, entrepreneurs, and businesses, we aim to connect them with reliable networks, experts, and services to provide a community of collaboration and success — and to make the ordinary extraordinary. Through collaboration, we hope to harness innovation as a way of solving challenges, building culture, and generating value for the region we all call home.

Start-Up Support
What defines a start-up?
Although a start-up is a company in the first stages of its operations just like many others, they are defined by their focus on disrupting an industry and driving top-line revenue at a fast pace through the development of a repeatable and scalable business model. Start-ups, which are typically tech-based, normally require heavy funding by investors with a much larger element of risk. Think of AirBnB, Uber, and Facebook in their beginning stages, all of which completely revoutionised their industry before quickly becoming corporate giants.
