Last week we were thrilled to welcome ASEAN delegates to the ALGIM Annual Conference. This was a joint effort between the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade and ALGIM. With delegates from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Laos, Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, this was a unique opportunity to exchange insights on smart communities among New Zealand innovators and our ASEAN partners. Together, we explored Christchurch City Council's smart cities programme while developing valuable connections to advance local government initiatives.
