Vodafone xone was launched in 2016 with the ambition to find the best mobile and digital technologies in New Zealand and to support them to take on the world through Vodafone’s international network. In creating the Vodafone xone accelerator programme, our goal was to contribute to the development of innovation in New Zealand and to bring the expertise that Vodafone has in driving technology innovation globally.
We are proud to share with you some of the success to emerge from the xone programme.
