PMA A-NZ Fresh Hackathon

PMA A-NZ are delighted to invite you to participate in the first PMA A-NZ Fresh Hackathon to be held in conjunction with Hort Connections 2019 on June 24 from 12.30pm - 5.00pm.

This event will enable you to think creatively - and in a very robust and intense way - by participating in one of the below topics of huge relevance to our industry. Namely:

1. How do we get consumers to use the sustainable packaging guidelines?

2. What is the next initiative that could move the dial in F&V consumption in ANZ?

3. As an industry, how do we improve adoption of digital technologies?

4. What initiatives can the produce industry put in place to manage food safety incidents?

*Please note participants can only select one topic. 

You will work in small groups for the afternoon and then have the opportunity of working with an Innovation Consultant, learning and applying tools from some of the best creative methods (Design Thinking, Systematic Inventive Thinking, Lean).

Teams will pitch the best ideas from each focus area to a panel of industry leaders and compete for The Award, with select ideas and opportunities receiving ongoing support from PMA A-NZ through connection and engagement.

If you are keen to get involved, please commit fast and select the topic you’d like to work on. Limited places are available so register now. If you are a PMA A-NZ member please select one of the focus areas outlined in the ticket type.

If you are not a member but would like to be involved, please submit an expression of interest detailing who you are, what you do and why you should be at the PMA A-NZ Fresh Hackathon.

Please note preference in participation will be given to PMA A-NZ members, with all other expressions being based on the merit of the expression of interest.
