Agritech News: On tour with the ITP
Tuesday, March 14th, 2023
Kia Ora,
We are half-way through the Agritech Industry Transformation Plan (ITP) Connect Tour and it’s been fantastic to meet so many of you in person. It’s events like this that remind me how much we all missed out on during the lockdown years and I’m thankful to be back on the road and engaging in discussion with similar, but different, clusters around the country.
It is our Membership that enables us to draw in the Government focus on programs like the Agritech ITP and other activities, thereby advancing the sector for everyone. We encourage anyone that is involved in technology, science, research or other services applied to the agriculture sector to get in touch and join us as we accelerate the agritech industry.
If you missed out on attending our in-person sessions we will be running a webinar on Wednesday 5 April. Register here.

Agritech News: Racing into 2023
Wednesday, February 8th, 2023Kia Ora,
With January already behind us it’s hard to remember the holiday period. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by the floods across Tairāwhiti Gisborne, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and other areas. We know events like this result in a range of emotions, practical needs, financial consequences, ongoing challenges and we wish you well in your recovery. In the wake of the extreme weather, the Xero Assistance Programme (XAP) is offering free mental health support for all small businesses (owners, employees and families) in the affected regions.
We’re already moving at pace with a full calendar of agritech activities scheduled for the first half of 2023, so get ready for a collective push to advance the industry in 2023.
We’ll do our part by connecting people and ideas, promoting projects and problems worth solving and advancing the growth of our industry. This year, we begin with the Agritech Connect Tour 2023 on the road during March.
With the support of our Members and community, we’re looking forward to a powerful 2023.
