🙌 Welcome to Brisbane! 🚀

La French Tech Australia (FTAU), and its Queensland community, invite you to our first big event in Brisbane, Nous - Agtech Connect!

Set as a satellite event to EvokeAg 2025 🌾👩‍🔬 and focused on AgTech and agriculture, this morning event will bring together French and Australian experts as well as startups.  

We are thrilled to be welcoming prominent representatives from both the French and Queensland Government to this morning, which will feature a panel discussion on the common issues faced by farmers, innovators, and regulators when considering food security, sustainability, and the future of farming, and provide some answers and solutions to these challenges.

We will welcome:

His Excellency, Mr Pierre-Andre Imbert, French Ambassador in Australia
The Honourable Mr Sean Dillon MP, Assistant Minister for Primary Industry Development, Water and Western Queensland

Ms Julia Spicer OAM: Network Lead, The Connection Table; Director; Councillor; former QLD Chief Entrepreneur
Ms Jo Sheppard: CEO, Queensland Farmers Federation
Ms Fleur Anderson: Regional Director, Department of Primary Industries; Non-Executive Director to the Board for Cotton Australia
Mr Vincent Hebrail: Agricultural Counsellor, French Embassy in Australia
Mr Ben Qin: Head of North Asia and Australia, Descartes Underwriting
Mr Ben Barlow: Leader for Australia, Axioma;
Mr Jeremy Jones: Director, Darling Downs Spray Tech

The panel will then be followed by a pitch competition, in a friendly competition of French startups vs Australian startups. Who will take the trophy home?

Did we say French? We will welcome you with a touch of France, and croissants, to enjoy during a short networking session prior to the event kicking off. Bon appétit!

🎟️ So, reserve your (free) ticket now, as we have limited spots, and join us on the day!

We can't wait to see you there.
