Designed to coincide with NZ AgriFood Week, a huge opportunity presents itself for New Zealand to leverage its powerhouse capability in agriculture combined with our amazing Kiwi ingenuity.

At this event, the newly formed Agritech New Zealand Incorporated will describe its mission to work with key stakeholders across the Manawatu to realise this opportunity. Examples of initiatives already underway include;

1) Increasing investment into the sector e.g. visit of Finistere and Yamaha Ventures in May 2018
2) Developing a more consistent and powerful export story similar to Ireland Origin Green or the Dutch Food Valley e.g. crafting the NZ Agritech story with NZTE and NZ Story
3) Driving international partnerships e.g.cross seasonal collaboration proposal from Western Growers (USA)
4) Increasing innovation/technology collaboration across the wider NZ Agriculture sector e.g. joint initiatives with farmer/grower organisations (like Zespri, Fonterra, Federated Farmers) and agritech companies

At this event, you will have the opportunity to meet, listen to and connect with some of the key people helping make this vision happen.
