When Armidale launched the NBN it was no surprise that this tech savvy community was awake to the opportunities.
New England producers built an online platform to trade livestock eight years before eBay was launched; created a global florist; designed sapflow meters; built software to teach children to read; and started weighing cattle in the paddock and digitising the earth's soil.
This BackStories event explores the DNA of Armidale's love affair with all things technology, and shares the stories of three tech-based businesses now growing in the New England.
Framed by an historical backstory, three tech-based businesses will tell us their stories, share their experience and give us a chance to consider what's next!
New England Regional Art Museum's Rachael Parsons will provide the historical backstory
Kate Armstrong-Smith, Omelia
Sam Duncan, FarmLab
Nick Perry, Bailey Nelson
Light lunch is provided at this free event.
