Queensland Counts Down To AgriFutures evokeAG 2025

Excitement is building as expressions of interest (EOI) to showcase Queensland’s AgTech innovation ecosystem, alongside international agrifood tech and innovation event AgriFutures evokeAG 2025, open in less than a month.
AgriFutures evokeAG. 2025 was officially launched last week on April 18, with entrepreneurs, key agricultural stakeholder groups and senior Queensland and Local Government figures coming together to back the event.
AgriFutures evokeAG., to be held in Brisbane on February 18-19 2025, brings together the agrifood tech and innovation community from Australia and across the world.
"Queensland not only has a global reputation for high-quality, sustainable, safe and trusted agricultural products, it is becoming recognised as a powerhouse for AgTech innovation," said Acting Deputy Director-General of Agriculture Elton Miller.
"A key action under the Queensland Government’s AgTech Roadmap is to showcase Queensland innovation at global agricultural innovation events and attract major conferences to Queensland.
"AgriFutures evokeAG. 2025 will provide an international platform to demonstrate that Queensland is a prime destination for the development and export of world-leading AgTech.”
Over two days producers will share their experiences, entrepreneurs will showcase their technology and innovations, scientists will showcase their discoveries and global business leaders and industry experts will share their insights on the future.
The 2024 event held in Perth attracted more than 1,800 delegates from Australia and around the world, and organisers are confident evokeAG. 2025 will continue to grow year-on-year.
Julia Spicer, Queensland’s Chief Entrepreneur, will host a webinar sharing details about the opportunities to showcase Queensland AgTech and innovation across the State and the EOI process on Tuesday, 14 May 2024 – visit https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/news-media/campaigns/agtech/news/evokeag-webinar for more information.
