Exciting Update: ECX Enters a New Phase! 🚀

We're thrilled to share that the East Coast Exchange NZ (ECX) is advancing to its next phase, now supported by Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou and Gisborne District Council.

Born from the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, the ECX harnesses Toha's digital systems to drive a community-led response and recovery in the East Coast region.

This milestone not only advances the ECX but also showcases how Digital Public Infrastructure can create new avenues for local generosity and resilience.
