Overview

The Bragato Research Institute drives world-leading innovation for the New Zealand wine industry – from blue sky research through to the practical application of science in vineyards, wineries and supply chain. At this event you will hear from BRI chief executive MJ Loza about the governance, structures and goals that led to the opening of this facility earlier this year and the direction that’s taken since the doors opened. There will also be a short tour of the facility and plenty of time to ask questions and network.

This is a joint event with the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce, and held in association with QuayConnect. It is complimentary for IoD and Chamber members to attend but registration is essential. Chamber members will need to register via the Chamber website. Ticket numbers are limited for this event. We ask that you please don’t register unless you are sure you are available to attend.

Thank you to our event sponsor.
