About us
BOP Tech is an industry led group set up to support the local technology and innovation communities.
Our aim is to encourage collaboration across the wider industry and provide opportunities to connect with employers, talent, students, education providers and beyond.
There are already some awesome events happening in our region so our aim is to further support/promote these events as well as those organised by BOP Tech.
First cab off the ranks is the BOP Tech Quiz (formerly part of the BOP ICT Cluster which is no longer operating).

AI Engineering HCC | 0.1 Setup
Basestation, 148 Durham St, Tauranga, NZRESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE
We’re surrounded by AI hype.
New tools every week. Big claims. “10x engineers.”
Some of it’s real. A lot of it isn’t.The Hype Cycle Club is for people in Tauranga who want to actually build with AI—and figure out what works.
>>>
👥 Who it's for- Software engineers
- Product builders
- Indie hackers
- Curious tinkerers
Beginner or experienced—you’re welcome if you’re interested in AI.
>>>
🪩 What happens on the night
This will be a mix of:- Open discussion (what's useful vs hype)
- The lab: Tools, workflows, agent setup (what's working for you, what you wish existed)
- Optional lightning demos (bring along something if you want to share)
- Time to meet other builders
No slides required. No gatekeeping.
>>>
🪅 The vibe- Casual, not corporate
- Interactive, not passive
- Builders > buzzwords
You don’t need a polished project—unfinished, half-baked ideas are encouraged.
