A 2020 version of TIN's annual report tracking the tech sector was just released yesterday. TIN arrives at an export figure for New Zealand's tech sector by identifying the 200 largest New Zealand-linked technology companies. TIN then takes the total overseas revenue for these companies and describes it as the export value of the country's tech sector. TIN also includes high tech manufacturing and biotech goods and services in total tech sector exports, while Stats NZ spreads those transactions across other categories. None of that is to say that New Zealand's tech sector is unimportant.
