Fieldays hold out the begging bowl
OPINION: When someone says “we don’t want a handout, we need a hand up” it usually means they have both palms out and they want your money.
They join sponsors Vodafone NZ, Callaghan Innovations and Massey University.
The awards enable innovators to do market research, gather information, receive advice, make connections and launch their ideas nationally and internationally.
Fieldays Innovations event manager Gail Hendricks says the support, advice and connections each of the partners has for entrants will do wonders in advancing their ideas, propelling them onto the national and world stage with reputable knowledge behind them.
“AWS has supported many successful New Zealand start-ups and enterprises in their technology journeys, and with AgTech being such a common theme amongst innovation entries, we see them being a hugely beneficial part of the Fieldays Innovation Awards’ team of sponsors, says Hendricks.
Founded by Kiwi entrepreneur Daniel Given, Gait International works in design for manufacture and value engineering. It devises supply chain management solutions used by global companies to produce world class engineered products.
