Ten of our STAMP participants will be participating in the upcoming IFAMA 2024 World Conference agribusiness-specific Global Student Case Competition — the only one of its kind globally — providing students and their universities a world stage to showcase future #primarysector leaders.
This year our participants will be heading off to the beautiful Almería, in Southern Spain, (17-20 June).
As we head towards the event we will be show-casing some of our outstanding STAMP participants.
Introducing Erena Calder Hawkins and her remarkable journey within our cohort.
Kia ora, my name is Erena Calder Hawkins. I have a passion for the #agrifood tech sector and a curiosity for learning. I am the research engagement lead at Sprout Agritech, NZ’s leading agrifood tech accelerator and early-stage investor. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Biotechnology (UoW) and a Master of Bioscience Enterprise (UoA). I enjoy the challenge of working with novel #technologies and identifying real-world problems to create meaningful impact. What excites me about STAMP is the exposure to the greater #agrifood sector and building awareness and knowledge on the challenges the sector faces.
I have enjoyed developing my #strategicthinking and #presentationskills during STAMP and I look forward to representing the programme at IFAMA in Spain this year. I hope to learn more about the European #primarysector and to further expand my international #networks while at IFAMA.
