An electric skateboard, concert loudspeakers that can be electronically repositioned and virtual reality storybooks for children are among designs by New Zealand start-ups to be featured at two technology exhibitions in Paris.
The French embassy in Wellington is sponsoring a group of 11 start-ups and NZ entrepreneurs to attend the Futur-en-Seine digital festival and VivaTech, a global workshop for technology innovators. Both events will take place in June.
The group includes four design students from Auckland University of Technology, a design research group from Massey University, digital collective Enspiral and software-based solar energy services company Greenstage Power.
