Day 2

Australia has established a global competitive advantage in agriculture. However innovation in the agriculture and food industries globally is changing, and the entrance of new technologies, capital, and perspectives is putting pressure on existing systems and ways of thinking. Entrepreneurs especially are playing a critical role in this transformation. This presentation will provide insights into how Australia can build on a competitive advantage in agriculture to become a competitive global player in agrifood technologies, and will give practical take-home principles for how we can all innovate to improve the world we live in.
