What is NEXUS
NEXUS exists to address the defining challenge of our time: how to build a dairy sector capable of thriving in a world shaped by volatility, environmental pressure, technological disruption, and shifting consumer expectation.
The programme offers a structured ecosystem for professional growth - where leaders build capability, strengthen networks, and gain frameworks that support innovation, resilience, and long-term strategic clarity.
Through events, intelligence, and a new collaborative leadership framework, Dairy Connect brings the industry together.
Uniting experience with fresh thinking to strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the UK, Irish and International dairy economies.
