More than 50 startups and scaleups from 10 countries have been selected to feature at Asia Pacific’s premier agrifood innovation event, evokeAG. in Brisbane on 18-19 February 2025.
What do you get when Australia’s top agtech innovators collaborate, rather than compete? Solutions that make beef production easier, more productive, and more profitable.
AgriWebb, Farmbot, Cibo Labs, Pairtree, and Optiweigh share how they’re working together to give beef producers more bang for their agtech buck.
AgriFutures evokeAG. is the premier event on the Australian agrifood tech and innovation calendar – a natural match for Australia’s biggest bank, CommBank, which came on board as a silver partner for its 2023 and 2024 events.
The bank has been delighted with the results of their involvement, which has been the catalyst for at least two major partnerships with Australian agritech startups. As agriculture moves towards emissions targets, these collaborations will help customers meet the challenge of accessing and interpreting their on-farm data to measure progress and demonstrate sustainability credentials.
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has taken the world by storm, and the Australian agrifood sector is no exception. As we witness the emergence of innovative products like ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, it's clear that the past 50 years of computer science investment have culminated in a plethora of AI-driven solutions. Andrew Skinner, Director of digital and data systems consultancy firm, More Than Machines, reflects on all things AI and why Australian agriculture is punching above its weight.
A $60 million investment program designed to galvanise the research and adoption of agritech in regional farming areas has been launched by Charles Sturt University, Australia’s largest educator of agricultural students.
Will you be exhibiting, pitching or attending any agritech conferences in 2024? The upcoming calendar provides many opportunities to explore – but there’s one event that’s highlighted, booked and blocked out in my calendar.
For the first time, AgriFutures evokeAG. has selected 10 scaleup businesses* to exhibit in the new Scaleup Station. We catch up with the founders of Whole., Agronomeye, and SwarmFarm Robotics, three of the companies selected, to get their thoughts on growth, evolution, and the one piece of advice they all share in common.
From sustainable wine packaging to a technology turning rice straw waste into bio-asphalt, the innovations and opportunities these 40 startups businesses hold for the future of Australia’s food system are enormous.
