There’s no argument that women are putting forward ideas and research that offer scalable solutions, but why are some of these cutting-edge ideas being overlooked?

In this episode we’re delving into the concept of ‘think bigger, sooner’, with a particular focus on women working in the agrifood and technology sectors.

It’s designed to empower female leaders in the agriculture and technology sectors, bolstering not only their networks and capabilities but provides a vital platform for advancing their research or technological innovations to the next phase of development.
