Geothermal energy and food innovationOur portfolio diversification strategy with Wageningen

New Zealand (Spirits)Outside wine, the New Zealand beverage sector is primarily focused on production for domestic consumption;
however, exports are growing

Neutraceuticals (Manuka honey and derivatives)Maori have large tracts of land growing Manuka and accumulating significant capital for investment. What
we don’t have is the technology.

What I want?• To partner with leading European food innovators in food
processing
– Seafood (Aquaculture and Neutraceuticals)– Red meat and dairying– Crops and horticulture and Manuka honey and derivatives
• Existing food technologies (tech transfer)
– Greenhouse technologies– Extend food freshness technologies– Low CO2 food technologies– Food bi-product technologies
• European food market (niche) connections
