Sonar6 took another giant step out onto the global stage recently when it was invited to join Silicon Valley’s prestigious Girvan Institute of Technology.

For some of our readers, The Girvan Institute will need no introduction. However, for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with it, here’s the elevator pitch: Established in 2002, The Girvan Institute helps create and grow high-technology businesses through networking and profile building. Its existing affiliates and partners include internationally recognized research labs, Fortune 1000 companies, small and medium high-tech companies and a handful of global private equity and venture capital firms.

Sonar6 is only the second New Zealand company to be invited to join the Institute – a rare privilege and a great opportunity.
