Just under two years ago Vodafone announced a major commitment to the South Island – plans to establish a South Island headquarters in the heart of the new Christchurch Innovation Precinct.

Vodafone are on the verge of opening the doors to our new South Island home. And as part of the countdown to opening, we are delighted to share with you the name of the new building. Thanks to the partnership with Vada Digital, who planned, project managed the whole technology part of the building, Vodafone have a state of the art building to be show off.

The new building will facilitate the growth and development of the entire South Island business, as well as supporting the recovery and growth of the city. Located in the heart of Christchurch’s new Innovation Precinct, it is a bold statement that Vodafone is about innovation and growth. In the ground floor of our building will be the Vodafone xone™ – a unique incubator where we will support tech start-ups to innovate, scale and go global.

And it will be the most technologically advanced workplace in New Zealand – fully mobile, cloud and video aware, delivering new levels of productivity and convenience for our people, customers and partners – with the smartphone as the passport to getting around.

So it’s fitting that the name for our new home in Christchurch, at 213 – 221 Tuam Street, is: Vodafone InnoV8.

Vada Digital has brought Vodafone InnoV8 to life, cleverly bringing together everything Vodafone are creating for their people, customers and partners in Christchurch – and indeed Vodafone hope it will become a place for Cantabrians to connect, create and collaborate.
