Framed by an historical backstory, three businesses will tell us their stories, share their experience and give us a chance to consider what's next.
Innovation has always existed, so of course we can learn from those who previously invented, created, adapted and pivoted. Backstories of Innovation is where we connect the ingenuity of the past with the present innovators and entrepreneurs.
This month's theme is Mapping New England.
John Atchison, Armidale & District Historical Society will provide the historical backstory, and introduce three innovative local businesses:
David Carr, Stringybark Ecological
Drew Walsh, Precision Pastures
Sara Schmude, Impact Ag Partners
Each business will be asked to answer three questions:
What’s the innovation you are bringing to market?
Why Armidale and why now?
What is your prediction of the future in Armidale / New England?
Light lunch is provided at NOVA as part of this free event.
