Dunedin is known as the Edinburgh of the South - as evidenced by the ornate Victorian and Edwardian architecture that houses the city's many vibrant restaurants, cafes and art galleries. As well as a rich cultural heritage, Dunedin boasts spectacular scenery and is situated near the breathtaking Otago Peninsula, labeled by prominent British environmentalist Sir David Bellamy as the finest example of eco-tourism in the world.
The city of Dunedin is also the financial and commercial centre of the Otago region. It has a buoyant economy and its exports include high fashion, chocolate, and beer. It is also a hub of creativity and innovation as home to the University of Otago, New Zealand's first university and an internationally recognized institute of excellence. Each February when the students flock back, the city's population swells from around 100,000 to 115,000.
ZenTech is located on the doorstep of the University and the location of our company is key to its success as there is a constant flow of ideas, information and people. The latest cutting-edge technology is easily accessible and there is a large pool of human resources readily available, from bright young graduates to potential volunteers.
Dunedin is also the gateway to Central Otago, an area famous for its worldclass skiiing and hiking facilities. The people of Dunedin take advantage of their close proximity to this region during all four seasons to pursue outdoor activities, ensuring that the vast majority of Dunedinites are fit and healthy. Students are especially active during the winter, making frequent trips to ski resorts.
