Future

As the MC for evoke^AG.’s second Investor Pitch Dinner, Tenacious Ventures’ Sarah Nolet remarked on how much things had changed since the previous evoke^AG. in 2020 and its first Investor Pitch Dinner. Australian agritech has gone from aspiring to be a global player, Sarah says, to ‘fully established, proving to the world that we’ve arrived and we’re here to stay’. So where are Australia’s areas of global advantage, and what’s the key to maximising the future for the agrifood tech ecosystem?

How can we make agriculture an accessible, inclusive, and exciting career option for anyone to consider? What’s the key for encouraging farmers to adopt new technologies or practice change on farm? And how can greater access to education and resources support the industry to become more sustainable and resilient?

In the lead up to evoke^AG. 2023 – Down to Earth and the launch of the program, we’re giving you a sneak peek at some of the stellar line-up taking to the stage on 21-22 February 2023. To kick things off we asked evoke^AG. 2023 speakers Stuart Austin, David Downs, Michelle Colgrave and Michael Macolino about their passion for agrifood innovation as well as Australia's (and South Australia's) global advantage and what will drive the greatest change in agrifood innovation.

In this Food Futurists x evoke^AG. collab podcast Professor Andy Lowe speaks with Peter Wren-Hilton, CEO of Wharf42 and Convenor of the 2035 Oceania Summit about the importance of collaboration and agritech innovation to address climate change.
