Techweek 2022 returns to Taranaki for its fifth year from May 16 to 22, with various events on offer to spotlight and celebrate Taranaki and Aotearoa tech innovations.
A headliner event of the week is the AgriTech Expo and Conference: Farming our Future, hosted by Venture and Taranaki Catchment Communities,
with the support of Baker Tilly and Callaghan Innovation.
"The Taranaki Agritech Conference and Expo is an opportunity for the Taranaki rural community to learn more about the range and value of agritech, consider its relative merits, and discuss how to prepare for and include on-farm technology within their operations," says Anne Probert, general manager, regional strategy and sectors.
The expo and conference will be held at the Stratford War Memorial Centre on May 18, commencing at 10am and will discuss topics such as the future of farming, rural connectivity, and Internet of Things (IoT), making the financial case for investment, and limitations and risks.
"The expo will showcase a wide range of agritech products and solutions and will give the community an opportunity to discuss directly with providers how their different tools and technology might suit their needs. There is also a great line-up of conference speakers, offering insights about how agritech may support and enhance their own farming operations."
