AgritechNZ 2025 Wrap-Up

Opportunities ahead and seasonal thanks

As we head into the final weeks of the year, here are our key member updates and opportunities at a glance. If you’re planning for 2026 events, our events pages are packed with details on:

  • our collaboration with Farmers2Founders at EvokeAG
  • member discount codes for EvokeAG and E-Tipu.
  • Fieldays Innovation Awards entry dates
  • pitch opportunity: five early-stage New Zealand biological businesses at the inaugural NZ Biological Symposium.

It’s a fitting way to close our year, celebrating momentum, unlocking opportunities and strengthening the connections that drive our sector forward. This includes a look back at our Agritech Unleashed series, which was more than events: it created shared tools, strengthened communities of practice, and deepened the sector’s collective capability. In this edition, we reflect on what we achieved together across Hawke’s Bay, Waikato and Canterbury. We also share our plans to build on our progress with experiences in Auckland, Tauranga and Dunedin in 2026.

I’m also pleased to share a year-end message from our Chair, Brenna Townshend, reflecting on 2025 and the road ahead. Read more.

Thank you for your support and engagement throughout 2025. Our community’s strength has defined this year, and we’re looking forward to an even more vibrant, opportunity-filled New Year as momentum continues to build.
