The New Zealand agriculture technology sector is under-performing when bench-marked against its global peers. Israel exports 10x New Zealand agtech products and related services, falling behind global competitors including Israel, Ireland, the Netherlands and the USA. Our mission at Skyway is to play a major role in bringing precision agriculture into New Zealand farming through the use of specialized aerial imagery and powerful interpretation of this data.

Farmers need accurate, actionable and easy to understand information about their farms current operations, as well as predictive data that enables powerful decision making, before it is too late. Whether you're a pasture farmer with live stock or a horticulture farmer running a commercial orchard or vineyard, Skyway has a solution that will improve your farms visibility and assist in precise decision making.

Skyway is working in collaboration with Callaghan Innovation to develop some of the most advanced aerial data analytical tools in the world, primarily focused on the agriculture industry. We have a range of existing product offerings and many more in the development phase. Get in touch to discuss our options today.
