Following the signing of two major strategic partnerships with Farm2050 and Western Growers, Agritech New Zealand is working on a number of exciting new initiatives. The partnerships provide an opportunity to rapidly scale all aspects of New Zealand’s AgriTech ecosystem including research, industry, government and investment.
To provide a better understanding of these opportunities, Agritech New Zealand is hosting a nationwide roadshow in October. We plan to provide insights into how local AgriTech businesses can take part in these initiatives.
Join the roadshow in your city and meet Agritech New Zealand, Callaghan Innovation and our local hosts to learn more about how your organisation can benefit from:
- connecting with major New Zealand Tech Alliance members including the AI Forum, BioTechNZ, IoT Alliance and NZTech.
- engaging with Callaghan Innovation to support your research and development capability.
