Following the publication of the National Data Infrastructure blueprint Catalyst Cloud & the Veracity Technology Spearhead hosted a symposium to promote engagement and identify next steps, alongside presenting and introducing key NDI principles and concepts to the wider group.

We hoped this symposium would promote engagement with the NDI for Aotearoa New Zealand, identify possible consortium research partners & explore how the NDI could apply to industry. It's safe to say that we feel we succeeded! A packed and busy event led to great conversations and a unique chance to network with like-minded individuals from a myriad of industries and companies.

As we know not everyone could attend the event, we recorded the speaker presentations and have compiled them together below!
