A Dunedin software company has developed an internet-based program that helps tertiary students plan their preferred course of undergraduate study.

The company, 1000Minds, completed the project as part of a two-year collaboration with another Dunedin software company, The Street.

The principals of 1000Minds, Paul Hansen, of Dunedin, and Franz Ombler, of Wellington, were last week named as finalists in the ICT category of the Bayer Innovators Awards in association with NBR.
