We’re showcasing how our land and people are shaping Aotearoa’s agritech future.
From Marlborough’s vineyards to Hawke’s Bay’s orchards and Southland’s pasture, Agritech Unleashed connects us with the unique stories that define each region’s agricultural identity.
In 2025 we will be holding three events in the Agritech Unleashed Series that will span both the North and South Islands of Aotearoa.
Join us where conversations spark collaboration, and the latest agritech meets real-world applications.
Why Agritech Unleashed?
Agritech Unleashed is a series of regionally distributed experiences that will celebrate and explore the unique characteristics of each region’s agritech ecosystem. Every region has distinct agricultural priorities, challenges, stakeholders, and infrastructure, which influence the adoption, interoperability, and scaling of agritech innovations.
We’re creating a platform for meaningful conversations to:
- highlight unique regional strengths
- gain insights by showcasing innovations in their natural environments
- strengthen industry connections to foster collaboration
- connect local solutions to national and global opportunities
To nourish the changes that will result in a more significant impact of agritech, we must explore how these connected local actions can evolve into larger systems of influence. The Agritech Unleashed series will catalyse emerging practices by helping to identify, connect, refine, and scale agritech innovations that are locally grounded and more widely interconnected nationally and globally.
