Our Agritech Connect Tour will share updates and gather your valuable input on the Agritech Industry Transformation Plan (AITP). The Agritech ITP was launched in 2020 to turbocharge global growth for New Zealand’s agritech sector. We’ll be showcasing the great work that has been achieved during the last two years, plus discussing the refreshed AITP plan.
Please join us and learn more about the AITP’s new focus and the role your business, industry and the Government can play in achieving these goals. You’ll learn more about our tools, resources and 2023 plans. It’s also the ideal opportunity to meet and reconnect with others. If you’re involved in agriculture technology you won’t want to miss our session!
