Kia 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.
Brendan O’Connell
Chief Executive, AgriTechNZ
