Leaders from Wellington's tech sector remain bullish about the city's prospects, despite looming public sector jobs cuts.
Co-founder of Wellington based online investment platform Sharesies, Leighton Roberts, said his company was continuing to expand in the city and this year had hired another 30 to 35 staff.
Economists estimate more than 3500 jobs could be cut in Wellington, because of a major shake-up to the public service planned by the government.
Some residents and cafe owners have told RNZ they fear the government's plans will crush the city's morale, leaving it a "ghost town".
