Review and Highlights Pioneering Digital Identity & Farm Digital Wallets What an incredible experience our team had at Fieldays! We’d like to share the highlights from this event that brought together farmers, industry representatives, international delegations, and government officials. đ Engaging with International Delegations đ€ Thanks to the efforts of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, Callaghan Innovation, Agritech New Zealand and New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade, we had the opportunity to engage with several international delegations. Meaningful discussions around joint opportunities, collaborations, and the future of agriculture took place, strengthening global connections and fostering innovation. đ Digital Futures – A Collaborative Endeavor đ» Our joint  “Digital Futuresâ stand created a remarkable platform for Agritech New Zealand, Callaghan Innovation, Digital Boost NZ and TANZ to engage with our members, thought leaders and government officials. We shared insights and discussed the exciting potential of digital technologies in shaping the future of agriculture. đ International Event Highlights đ± 1.     NZ/UK Free Trade Agreement Thanks to The Rt Hon Chris Hipkins for opening the session, followed by three practical examples from industry, including an insightful example by Lisbeth Jacobs of Gallagher.
