How We Help
We are cultivating a flourishing community of food, beverage and agritech pioneers. The reach of our ecosystem extends far beyond our base in the Tomoana Food Hub.
Welcome to Foodeast Haumako
Quite simply, your future in food innovation begins here.
Hawke’s Bay is known as the food bowl of New Zealand. And it’s for good reason, with our temperate climate, fertile soils and enviable sunshine hours.
Our region’s primary producers receive support from an array of businesses and organisations connected to food production, from processors to equipment manufacturers, to increasingly high-tech solution providers.
Here at Foodeast Haumako we aim to create a space for this ecosystem of talent and ingenuity to connect and flourish. We are determined to bring tangible, quantifiable benefits to the region’s food, beverage and agritech sector.
With our purpose-built facilities, unparalleled support network and a commitment to sustainable success, we plan to feed the future of Aoteraoa, one breakthrough at a time.
