Having covered the country re our :smarthome development we have found that the www.smartwellington.co.nz group to be most helpful in locating contacts. The conversion of industry/ communications is also opening the door for NZ wide outsourcing of services. But having worked in Wellington most of my life I would suggest that the old fossels in control will not change the way things are done overnight! Your suggestion Viki of a presence/formal trade presentation would be ,I feel the best option as it means Canterbury can play on the same political feild.
