Riding the tech wave: turning innovation into results

Join us at Foodeast Haumako for a special future focused tech breakfast. 

Friday 14th November 7.30am – 9am 
Foodeast Haumako, 4 Hanui Road, Tomoana, Hastings

Technology is transforming the food, beverage and agritech sectors; from AI and robotics to digital platforms and data-driven production.

Join Jarred Mair, technology strategist and advisor to businesses and investors across New Zealand, for a fast-paced, interactive session exploring how these shifts are reshaping markets, what opportunities they create for innovators and investors, and how businesses can turn new ideas into results.

He will cover topics including:

  • Big shifts shaping business: how global forces – from the economy to politics and trade – are changing what it takes to stay competitive in New Zealand’s food and agritech sectors.
  • Opportunities for smart operators: how smaller, adaptable companies can use timing, insight, and focus to get ahead while larger players are still adjusting.
  • Technology’s next chapter: what today’s rapid advances mean for how we grow, make, and move food, and staying alert to what’s around the corner.
  • Making sense of AI: cutting through the noise to understand how artificial intelligence is speeding change across industries, and what that might mean for your business.
  • Opportunities for smart operators: how smaller, adaptable companies can use timing, insight, and focus to get ahead while larger players are still adjusting.

Enjoy breakfast, connect with others in the industry, and gain insights to help your business stay ahead of the curve.
