Our Mission
We believe ENGINEERS, PRODUCT DEVELOPERS AND GARAGE TINKERERS IN New Zealand ARE buildING World-Leading products.
In response, Hardware Meetup AKL is bringing together some of New Zealand's brightest engineers, hardware entrepreneurs, product designers and enthusiasts to meet each other and celebrate our achievements.
Our bi-monthly events, held at Auckland's innovation hub GridAKL, are showcasing some of New Zealand's most exciting products and founders. We aim to create an environment for open conversations, opportunities, and shared resources.
