Paul Miller
Chair, NRIA Board

There’s an old saying that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  It’s a good way to explain why we created New Rural Industries Australia (NRIA).

The founders of NRIA come from diverse backgrounds and industries across Australia but we all believe that we can be more profitable and productive by working
collaboratively with our fellow industry players.  In these times of changing environmental and economic conditions, we need to be innovative to survive and
flourish and to take advantage of the opportunities that will inevitably come before us.  Quite simply, there is no better time to be part of the bigger picture and to work
together to make our rural businesses more successful into the future.

I am inviting you to attend the inaugural exposition and conference of the NRIA being held at Jupiters Hotel on the Gold Coast, November 28 to 30, 2010,
and to become part of an alliance of new rural industry innovators.

Thank you to everyone that attended NRIA 2010.

It was a very successful meeting with a great turnout, informative speakers and a interactive trade show.
