What is the true potential value of the New Zealand food sector? Where are the opportunities around technology and R&D, and what is the global impact our food technology sector can create? Our speakers will discuss why we need to challenge the current paradigm of the global food ecosystem, and how New Zealand can take advantage of these opportunities to make a global impact. They will also look at our philosophies around the origin of food - how we grow, cook, eat and share it, and shift our mindsets around the future of food - from organic farm-fresh ethically-sourced produce, to bio or genetically-engineered food.

This event is a collaboration with Kea's Inspire the Future Series and SingularityU Christchurch Chapter’s roadshow of Exponential Tech Biannual Updates and Panels across the country. 

Kea is proud to host three events across the country throughout Techweek'17 as we ask members of Kea’s World Class New Zealand Network to discuss opportunities in future industries, and what Kiwi SMEs, large businesses and individuals should know about finding their place in the Aotearoa’s future.

To celebrate Techweek'17 the team that brought you the SingularityU New Zealand Summit are hosting six events in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. Join us to stay ahead of the curve.
