New Zealand Food Innovation Network

📌 Inside the Food & Beverage Accelerator Zoom Room: An expert session on the Australian market At Rise Growth Lab I help ambitious founders unlock their potential and accelerate growth to take their business to the next level through clear strategy & frameworks, expert insight and industry networks. As part of the fortnightly Industry Expert series in the Food & Beverage Accelerator, I hosted the very insightful Chelsea Ford, founder of the Foodpreneurs Festival and a go-to expert for emerging CPG brands on the Australian market. She shared so many valuable takeaways, including: 👉 What it really takes to thrive in the Aussie retail space 👉 The edge that small, founder-led brands can own 👉 Route-to-market tips for those looking to enter or grow in Australia It was an energy-packed session, and our founders left with new clarity on what’s possible, and how to get there. I’m also excited to be part of the Foodpreneurs Festival 2025 and to celebrate, I have one ticket to the two-day event to give away 😃 If you (or a founder you know) are looking to: ✅ Get in front of buyers, media and investors ✅ Expand into new markets ✅ Build the knowledge and connections to scale faster …this event is well worth being part of! ❓ Know someone who needs to be in the room? Tag them below or DM me and I’ll send through the details. 👉 Learn more and enter the giveaway at: https://lnkd.in/gZjCyKT7

Great event Foodeast Haumako Meet the Experts! Really good to connect with other experts in the region and provide advice to some local food manufacturers! Apparently swimming directly off Marine Parade is not advised but I completed my own risk assessment and went for it! Looking forward to running a Networking Event at Foodeast in a couple of months.
