The tech sector in New Zealand is humming with mergers, acquisitions and capital raisings.

His company was involved in a couple of mergers and acquisitions now.
Xero founder Rod Drury and the Xero team had demonstrated how to create value in the software as a service (SaaS) area and a lot of New Zealand companies that have followed were Saas businesses, he said.
