Emerging Proteins NZ Launch + Local Discussion

Kaipara Kai Hub invites you to a live stream of the FoodHQ webinar launch of Emerging Proteins NZ followed by a facilitated discussion of “what is the opportunity for emerging proteins and what could this mean for Kaipara?”

Emerging Proteins NZ is an initiative of FoodHQ with a purpose to “Connect innovators to explore the potential of emerging protein sources.”

The webinar will be live streamed at Kaipara Kai Hub (1 Jellicoe Rd Ruawai) between 3:15-4pm on Monday 10th August. From 4-4:45pm we will facilitate a face to face discussion of the topic “what is the opportunity in emerging proteins and what could this mean for Kaipara?” From 5pm onward the Kai Hub will provide snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to give our guests an opportunity to network.

Take a seat on our cosy sofas and chairs and view the event live on our big screen. We will give our guests a pen and paper to write down their questions and thoughts during the Emerging Proteins webinar which we will discuss afterwards as a group. If you can not join the live stream session, feel free to join from 5pm onward for networking.
