In the years leading up to 2030, a focus on emerging markets and their growing middle classes will provide Australia with unique opportunities to significantly benefit the World from its historically documented reputation as a serial technology developer.
Technology developments have the potential to provide major benefits across all industry disciplines and in particular the agribusiness sector in reducing uncertainty, boosting productivity, lowering input and production costs and reducing environmental impacts. Automation will bring the costs of production down around the world in these and many other industries and will change the way business models develop.
As an example in agriculture robots, drones, satellites and fixed sensors are being used for diverse purposes such as improving land and water resource management, identifying the location and determining the health of livestock and crops. Infrastructure that allows the capturing of this data and enabling data sharing and analysis, is also essential to encourage the continued uptake of these technologies.
Australian innovative entrepreneurs are in hyper active mode and emerging scalable businesses are being developed by a burgeoning Incubator hub community. What’s lacking is the courage of the local investors to be a part of this revolution. If you are a Sophisticated Investor or manage an innovation investment fund perhaps you would be wise to look a little more closely at this opportunity. Aventuine is keen to explore partnerships with suitably positioned investors to develop a series of syndicated investment businesses here in Australia to capitalise on this boom of technology innovation.
