FELIX INSTRUMENTS, a pioneering technology company, is pleased to announce the rescheduled Kiwifruit Tech Talk Breakfast event on April 12th, 2023, after its postponement due to Cyclone Gabrielle. This eagerly anticipated event, hosted in tandem with Start Afresh – The Horticultural Innovators, will bring together industry personnel from the kiwifruit sector to explore the innovative F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter, which utilizes NIR technology to enable non-destructive and rapid maturity testing.

The breakfast event will feature a keynote presentation by Galen George, Director of Applied Science at Felix Instruments, who will present the latest results of the company's collaboration with New Zealand partners over the past three plus years. Attendees will also have the opportunity to witness live on-site demonstrations, get hands-on time with the device, and network with peers from the industry.
