This week we look back at the NZ tech stock market in 2023 to get a sense of where priorities lie for those investing their capital into the industry, and which stocks to watch in 2024.

We speak to three financial markets specialists, Clare Capital’s founder Mark Clare, and Joshua Dale and Stephen Ridgewell from Craigs Investment Partners to hear about the positives and negatives of higher rates and constrained capital for tech.

Plus, they share what they expect to see as things start to warm up again next year.

We also discuss the NZ winners and losers on the NASDAQ and how AI has helped boost the big US stocks.

The CIO of the Year's $10 billion ambition

It's been a banger of a year for Gentrack, joining the NZX50 and reaching a $1 billion market capitalisation.

In this episode, we talk to Gentrack's chief technology officer Mark Rees, who joined the company early this year after a decade at Xero.

Rees offers insight into how Gentrack's software is helping utility companies manage at a time of massive disruption for the energy generation market and explains how AI and hyper-personalisation could create an even more resilient and affordable energy system.

He also opens up about what it's like to be in the top tech exec role at a global tech company.

Plus, what's all this fuss about the Commerce Commission and open banking?
