Nearly 50 finalists have been announced for the 2023 Fieldays Innovation Awards across three categories.

Exhibited at the Fieldays Innovation Hub, the finalists will be judged by a panel of 15 sector experts, representing a range of experience from around New Zealand.

Fieldays programme manager Steve Chappell says it is ‘fantastic’ to see entries of a high calibre enter in the awards’ 55th year.

“I’m sure visitors will be wowed by the innovation on display in the Fieldays Innovation Hub and on the Fieldays Innovation Trail,” Chappell says.

He says the awards have proven to be a launchpad for plenty of products over the years, adding that 2023 will be no different.

This year’s finalists include solutions related to cyclone response, health and safety on-farm, and water testing, along with AI farm support, and compliance and regulatory apps and programs.

Finalists range from individuals, local Waikato companies, New Zealand-based global companies, to entries from across the globe, with entrants from the UK, Australia, USA and Switzerland selected.

“All of the finalists have demonstrated impressive innovation and commitment to the agricultural industry,” Chappell says.

“We can’t wait to see who comes out on top to take home the prize packages, a boost that could help them continue to grow and develop their ideas.”

Winners will be announced at the Innovation Awards Function during the New Zealand National Fieldays taking place at Mystery Creek from 14 June – 17 June 2023.
