500 attend tech events in Australia and New Zealand

The early stage technology industry in Australia and New Zealand looks strong judging from the more than 500 attendees at the ANZA/Southern Cross Venture Partners "Success in the US" tour of Australia and New Zealand in March.  See more details here.

I was in Australia at the same time for the Australasian Cleantech Forum, so I could not attend the ANZA event. Nonetheless, I can report that my two weeks in Australia confirmed the level of innovation and desire to take on global markets.

I hope to see plenty of Aussie and Kiwi entrepreneurs heading to Silicon Valley soon.
