Looking forward to sharing my experiences on building Drone-Hand PTY LTD with the assistance and guidance from Farmers2Founders pre-accelerator & accelerator programs. From an aerial photographer with an idea, to diving into the world of machine-learning and Ai, to speaking with hundreds of farmers to validate the problem-solution fit, navigating the complexities of grants, to our first funding round, its been an incredible experience that I couldn't have done without the support and guidance of Farmers2Founders and the broader AgTech community. Come and find out what support and guidance is there for you to turn your idea into a reality!

Many thanks to Australia China Business Council and Virginia Birrell for inviting me to participate in the "Ai & AgTech" panel in today's Agribusiness forum. Some very interesting points raised on the barriers to AgTech adoption, regulation and data concerns surrounding Ai, the benefits of Ai & AgTech to the agriculture industry in Australia and globally, and of course collaboration and how we as individual AgTech companies and farmers through to collaboration between nations. Geopolitics is a hot topic at the moment. A topic that is fraught with opportunities and risks. It was great to hear what is happening in China and Australia and the potential for the future in food security, sustainability and innovation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in discussion with me Justin Ahmed , Stewart McConachy , Philippa Jones and thank you for your insightful questions Suzie Leask GAICD, FGIA Drone-Hand PTY LTD Beanstalk AgTech Hall & Wilcox Australia China Business Council #agriculture #agtech #innovation #farming #China #Australia #sustainability #foodsecurity #founder #startup #agriculturevictoria #mla #livestock
