Australian AGinvestment & Sustainability Summit
Australian AGinvestment & Sustainability Summit
The Australian AGinvestment & Sustainability Summit (AGIS Summit) is a first-of-its-kind event in the Australian agriculture industry. It sits at the intersection of Agriculture, ESG and Finance and addresses some of the most pressing issues currently facing the Australian and Global Agriculture production systems – attracting investment to scale-up food production to meet the burgeoning demand for food from a rapidly global population. All while doing this in an environmentally, socially, and financially responsible manner.
We have assembled Australia’s industry leaders at the intersection of Agricultural Production, Investment and Sustainability. Hear them share their real-world insights on how these local and global drivers are presenting opportunities to investors, while also powering positive change in their businesses and the industry. All while ultimately demonstrating that investing in Australian agriculture is good for communities, good for the environment and good for business.
Join us and the Australian Agriculture & Investment community over lunch at the Summit taking place from 11:45 am – 3:30 pm on Thursday 29 August at the Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane.
This is the must-attend agriculture and investment event of the year – Tickets are strictly limited.
