University of Otago-based software company wins international award

1000Minds, a University of Otago-based company, has won a prestigious Consensus Software Award in Australia. Sponsored by Microsoft and IBM, Consensus Software Awards are the only independently judged awards for Australian and New Zealand software.

Delighted to be short-listed as a finalist, co-inventor of 1000Minds and Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, Dr Paul Hansen was extremely pleased to hear 1000Minds announced as a winner at a gala event in Sydney on Tuesday night (1 May).

“Everyone involved with 1000Minds has worked very hard over recent years at refining our systems and methodologies, and at establishing a national and international client base of users of the software.”
