An Event-Ful First Half of 2024!

The first half of 2024 is now under our belts, so we thought it would be a good time to reflect on the past six months and the exciting events CORE Technology has attended. Staying active in industry events helps us stay ahead of key trends, understand challenges in agriculture and retail, and connect with our partners. Here’s a brief recap of the year so far:

January

AgTech Ireland - Amsterdam

We started the year in Amsterdam with our partners, AgTech Ireland, exploring cutting-edge farming technologies. Alongside Irish agribusinesses, we visited farms, research centres, and the Lely factory & farm, gaining valuable insights into advanced technology and robotics in the Dutch agricultural sector as well as learning about some of the challenges faced by the farmers in the Netherlands and the changes they are making to address them.

February

Cultura Technologies SLT - Mitchelstown

We started off the month by hosting the Cultura Technologies SLT in Mitchelstown, where we began collaborating in the office and ended with a wine-tasting session at Ballinwillin House, located in the picturesque countryside of County Cork. A huge thank you to the entire team for contributing to a fantastic week. Culture plays a fundamental role in our operations at CORE, and being part of Cultura only reinforces that value for us.?

Hardware Show

Hosted by our partner, Hardware Association Ireland, we were delighted to attend the Hardware Show. This event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with clients and partners in the Hardware sector while staying updated on the latest industry innovations.

ESG in Dairy Summit

At the ESG Dairy Summit, the importance of delivering clear messaging across the industry regarding sustainability efforts was highlighted, and the dairy industry’s pivotal role economically, socially, and within communities was showcased.

AgriTech Skills Connect Event

Our partner, AgriTech Ireland, invited us to attend Munster Technological University to promote our graduate programme. This was a fantastic opportunity for a graduate to explore various career avenues available here at CORE.?

International Women's Day

A group of our incredible women from CORE Tech had the privilege of attending the "Resilient Industry: Adapting to Change" event hosted by Macra na Feirme and the Agricultural Science Association. This event was a testament to the achievements of women, with a strong emphasis on female empowerment. During the event, we were inspired by discussions about the evolving landscape of leadership roles in traditionally male-dominated industries where women are driving positive change. All proceeds from the event supported Breast Cancer Ireland, a worthy cause that is close to our hearts.

March

AgTech Ireland & Herdwatch

We attended a networking event organised by AgTech Ireland and hosted by Herdwatch. We learned about Herdwatch's inspiring journey and reaffirmed our belief in the power of collaboration.

The event involved an informative listen to Herdwatch's journey, a fascinating story of overcoming challenges and embracing successes on their path to growth while steadfastly safeguarding farmers' data.

At CORE Tech, we believe in the power of collaboration and partnerships, and this event reiterated just that. A huge thanks to AgTech Ireland for organising it and to Herdwatch for being such a fantastic host, opening their doors, and sharing their insights.

April

Retail Technology Show - London

We had a fantastic couple of days at The Retail Technology Show in London, with the event being filled with AI, innovation, and data insights. The event provided a brilliant opportunity for us to explore the future of retail technology. As providers of leading ERP software in the retail industry, it is key for us to be on top of the latest trends and understand how we can ensure our customers are moving with the latest trends and technologies!

May

Tech Fest - Cork

We attended Tech Fest in Cork which was both informative and inspiring, with Gerry Murphy's talk on AI emphasising the importance of fostering a culture of innovation.?

The Future of Irish Agriculture through AgTech Ireland

A joint event with the Agricultural Science Association and AgTech Ireland, featuring discussions on how technological innovations can improve farming efficiency, environmental performance, and work/life balance.

Attending these events is crucial for staying ahead in our industries and fostering valuable connections. We're excited about the upcoming events throughout the remainder of 2024!
