In partnership with Lincoln Hub, Tech Futures Lab is introducing an agritech focus to the November intake of its Master’s programme

The Lincoln Hub should attract more interest from the private sector with the appointment of a project manager for the facilities and a full-time chairman, AgResearch chairman Sam Robinson says.

New Zealand’s AgTech sector is a NZ$3 billion industry, generating export sales in excess of $700 million annually.

Lincoln Hub is pleased to announce the appointment of Toni Laming as Chief Executive.
