ABOUT momentum
The conference is themed around “Creating Our Healthiest Future” – ensuring we’re doing all we can to make sure our people, orchards, and communities are healthier and more resilient than ever – and will mark the formal launch of our 2035 Strategy.
Zespri CEO Jason Te Brake says Zespri’s focus over the next decade is creating enduring value for growers. “To do this, we need to be first for consumers, first for growers, and first for people. That means delivering the healthiest products, building the healthiest brand, and developing the healthiest supply chain and partnerships.”
Momentum 2026 will explore how our industry can do this in what is a more challenging environment, bringing to life the key pillars of the 2035 Strategy – unleashing brand-led demand, transforming global supply, and creating the product portfolio of the future. These priorities are already shaping how we currently invest, innovate, and make decisions that deliver long-term value for growers.
Across the two-day event, you’ll hear from international thought leaders on global trends, health, nutrition, and the future of food production. You’ll also have a chance to take part in practical workshops exploring future supply and demand, packaging, new technologies and climate change. Momentum provides a fantastic opportunity to connect, discuss, and learn alongside others in the industry, where you’ll be part of building a healthier, more resilient future.
