Aspire 2025

What a day. 

This year at ASPIRE 2025 Innovation in Action, we explored how innovative processes, technologies, and different ways of doing business are bringing Nelson Tasman into the future.

While there was a focus on AI as a disrupting technology, the theme of the day highlighted that it is curiosity, human connections and communication that will take us forward in leaps and bounds.

We loved bringing together our business community to connect, learn and spark new ideas.

A massive thank you to our speakers and sponsors for daring to ASPIRE:

Nelson Pine Industries, Nelson Airport, 2degrees, ACC New Zealand, Gallagher Insurance New Zealand, CNX, Tohu Wines, Golden Bay Fruit, Nelson AI Sandbox, Tasman Environmental Trust, Datacom, Spa World, Bragato Research Institute

A special acknowledgement to our speakers from SquareKicker and Whenua Iti Outdoors and attendees who were unable to make it on the day due to the weather (and to Nelson Tasman Hospice and the The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary for stepping in to share your mahi with us). Our thoughts are with everyone affected. If you or your businesses needs support navigating through this time - please reach out.
