Some of New Zealand's biggest tech names have sent a letter to the Government as millions of public funding is set to expire in the cloud software sector.

The letter sent to Tech Minister Judith Collins includes executives from Xero, Datacom, and Gallagher.

He told Francesca Rudkin that they want to understand what the Government’s plans are for the sector going forward, so they don’t lose all the work put into growing the community.
