Start-up Careers Showcase

Looking for an exciting, innovative career path? Curious about opportunities in New Zealand’s start-up ecosystem? The Start-up Careers Showcase is your chance to connect with Kiwi start-ups, industry leaders, and innovative companies to explore potential career opportunities.

If you’re a student or recent graduate looking to break into the start-up scene, develop professional connections, and discover what it takes to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, then this event is for you!
