Startup Dunedin general manager Rachel Butler said the award was “very much a team effort” involving a wide variety of stakeholders.

“This award doesn’t just recognise this year’s work, but the 20 years of past Dunedinites and alumni that have committed to the best regional ecosystem as founders, as supporters and mentors,” she said.
