Have you ever thought of developing ...
 a use for the malt grain left over from brewing,
a muesli for teenage girls,
or an alternative to a pie for the school cafeteria?
This year there are 17 teams across New Zealand participating in this year's NZIFST/CREST Student Product Development Challenge, and we are seeking sponsorship for each of them, to help with their project costs, and the costs of running the awards events.
We are looking for sponsorships of $500 + GST or $250 + GST, for each team. The benefits to sponsors are:
Show your support for NZIFST’s careers promotion activities.
Raise your company’s profile with future employees.
Raise the profile of the food industry, and science, technology and engineering careers in the food industry, within the school community.
Increase your profile within the FST community.
Our sincere thanks to all these organisations and individuals who have already agreed to sponsor teams, namely: AgResearch, Barker’s of Geraldine, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, Danisco, DIANZ, Fonterra, Goodman Fielder Dairy, GS Hall, Hansells Food Group, NZIFST Nutrition SIG, RD2 International, Jerry Wellington, XPO Exhibitions, Zespri International.
For more details, please contact the NZIFST Careers Coordinator, Jenny Dee at jdee@futureintech.org.nz.

Would you like 10 minutes to present a new innovation at Foodtech Packtech (12-14 October)?
NZIFST's product showcase sessions will be running during the show, allowing you 10 minutes to present a new product or service to an interested audience. To reserve a spot, or if you have any questions please contact Moira at seminartech@gmail.com
