Future Food Asia 2021
2021-06-07 08:00 - 2021-06-11 17:00 (Pacific/Auckland)
This is not a Tech Alliance event but may be of interest to some members.
Announcing the launch of the 5th edition of Future Food Asia (FFA) Awards.
Over the coming five months the FFA jury will select 10 startup finalists to compete for the US$ 100,000 grand prize. In the past four years, FFA has acted as springboard for innovators and empowered 40+ early stage startups from Asia Pacific by providing them the stage to present their cutting-edge innovations, and distributed over US$ 1 million in awards.
The startup finalists will showcase their innovations at the Future Food Asia 2021 Conference in June. The FFA Conference has become the voice of agrifood innovation in Asia Pacific, and brings together decision makers from leading agriculture and food corporations, influential investors, rising innovators and other key ecosystem players together.
As the AgriFoodTech sector comes of age, the big promise of sustainability is about to move from a state of ‘theory’ to ‘assessment’. Talents from all walks of life start to come to AgriFoodTech. All this is generating new approaches to building the future of food start to emerge and will fuel the FFA conversation in the coming months.

Growing with AgriTech: New Zealand and German collaboration
2021-05-27 16:00 - 17:30
This event is not run by an association in the Tech Alliance, but may be of interest to some members.

As the trade-link between two countries of impressive farming heritage, the German-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to be helping push forward the new frontier of AgriTech. By bringing together skills and technologies from both countries we can feed innovation and the adoption of new processes.
In this Techweek special, we have invited five companies in the AgriTech space to share the latest in technological innovation with you. If you are interested in the fast-moving AgriTech landscape and the growing potential for German-New Zealand collaboration in R&D, technology adoption, and exports — this event is for you!
AgriTech in New Zealand and Germany is moving from strength to strength, with government and industry keen to invest in a flourishing sector and support a greener economy. Here in New Zealand, the government signaled their commitment with a hefty 11.4 billion earmarked for direct investment towards implementing the ‘Agritech Industry Transformation Plan’. This is no gamble: improved uptake of Agritech in New Zealand is expected to bring up to $9.6b in increased farm output alone. In Germany, a buzzing Agritech startup scene runs alongside their well-established agricultural equipment industry, the largest in the world. About $96 million Euros of venture capital flowed into these startups in 2019 (GTAI). But it is not just the government and industry investment that will feed innovation — but collaboration, trade, and knowledge-sharing too.

Please join AgriTechNZ and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) explore new agritech opportunities in the world’s third biggest economy. Discover the Japanese market and understand the growing appetite for local agritech companies.
We will discuss the $2.6 billion agritech market, including dairy farming, fruit and vegetables, IoT applications, drones and robotics. Plus, learn more about Japanese initiatives encouraging agritech adoption. You will also be introduced to the Virtual Business Trip platform launching during this year’s Fieldays.
AgriTechNZ’s Brendan O’Connell will facilitate a panel of speakers exploring the rising demand for agritech in Japan. Japanese business experts and officials will join the discussion including ANZCO Food’s Makoto Kinjo , Yamaha’s Jim Aota and Deloitte’s Fayaz Budhwani. They will be joined by Dr Takuya Sato from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) and NZTE’s Head of Business Development Yoshifumi Imamura.
Speakers:

Mr. Fayaz Budhwani
Fayaz is a Manager within the Business Development group at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. He provides consulting services to enable organizations’ growth and transformation, serving clients across North America & Asia Pacific. He has experience supporting Japanese firms spanning various industries including Agriculture, Financial Services & Retail; with a focus on technological innovation to inform on where-to-play & how-to-win choices that underpin clients’ business strategies. Fayaz is actively engaged in formulating market entry strategies to expand NZ Inc’s AgriTech presence in Japan and South Korea; framing key agri-sector dynamics & distilling actionable insights to identify competitive opportunity areas.

Mr. Jim Aota
Jim joined Yamaha Motor Co. in 2017, where he was responsible for new business development across the company. Then, he moved to Corporate Planning Department, and he was responsible for developing and managing the execution of the company’s long-term vision and mid-term business plan.

He is also a 2010 graduate of the Harvard Business School Leadership Development Program (PLD). Yamaha Motor was originally founded as a “new business” by a musical instrument manufacturer (Yamaha Corporation) with a strong desire to create a completely different product, the motorbike back in 1955. Let’s hear from Jim about the strategy of such a company.

Mr. Makoto Kinjo
Makoto has been involved in the New Zealand meat industry for the last 20 years as part of ANZCO, not only from a sales perspective in Japan, but also from a producer’s perspective of New Zealand’s agricultural base, one of the most competitive in the world. Makoto has retired as President of ANZCO Japan and is now managing the company as Director. His focus is now on his own company, Ambrosia, managing the WAKANUI restaurant and developing new food products using NZ’s agricultural base. He says: “I think Agritech’s work is very important for Japanese agriculture and will make an important contribution to the food and farming partnership between Japan and NZ. There is a lot of technology that can be applied not only to sheep, but to livestock and dairy farming in general, and the possibilities are huge when you include sustainability, animal welfare and other areas where Japan lags.

Dr. Takuya Sato
Takuya is a researcher at Business-Academia Cooperation Office at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF). His role at MAFF is to promote government-led open innovation program named “Field for Knowledge, Integration and Innovation (FKII), which has over 3,700 members and 160 research projects.

Agritech and IoT – Progress in Rural Connectivity
2021-04-14 16:30 - 18:30
Progress in Rural Connectivity
Please join AgriTechNZ and the New Zealand IoT Alliance to explore the potential for connected agritech solutions in our primary industries.
The growing focus on the environmental impact of farming has led to an increased use of IoT to optimise fertiliser, power and water use. However, one of the biggest challenges is the connectivity of devices across large areas of Aotearoa’s productive land. How can improvements to rural connectivity be accelerated? We ask the experts!
AgriTechNZ and the IoT Alliance are hosting a panel of speakers to share their experiences, projects and aspirations for the future of IoT in agritech. We will discuss large scale IoT and sensor deployment projects, plus proof-of-concept trials. New infrastructure initiatives and the evolving role of satellite connectivity will also be discussed.

2021-02-10 14:00 - 16:00
New Zealand can lead the world with a globally competitive and connected agritech ecosystem. As we continue collaborating on the Agritech Industry Transformation Plan (ITP), we remain focussed on the real conditions of change and the collective opportunity for our sector.
Join David Downs, the ITP’s All of Government taskforce lead, who will facilitate the workshops with AgriTechNZ’s Kenneth Irons (Chair) and Brendan O’Connell (CEO).
These sessions will provide a progress update, plus insights into the next phase of the plan’s delivery. Project leaders will provide project updates and we will be discussing how you can engage with the work.

AgriTechNZ, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) warmly welcome you to a webinar on the export opportunities for New Zealand’s agritech in Ireland. There will be short presentations from New Zealand’s Ambassador to Ireland Brad Burgess and NZTE, as well as insights from Mark Ryder from LIC, David Kirby from Figured and Gillian Fullerton-Smith from Waikato Milking Systems – Kiwi companies that have made a success of entering Ireland’s agri sector.
The event follows the publication of a new report on opportunities for New Zealand agri-business companies ​in the Irish market, prepared by MFAT in cooperation with NZTE last year.
