Solving critical challenges in the agriculture and food sector, by putting Australian farmers at the centre of industry innovation. Farmers2Founders is an Australian agrifood tech company formed in 2018 to accelerate the development, commercialisation and adoption of agritech solutions that deliver real impact. Our purpose is to deliver innovative products and services to support Australian farmers to become more profitable and sustainable. We believe that to reach the ambitious industry target of $100Bn by 2030, the agricultural sector will need to undergo transformative and disruptive change and to tackle the current and emerging challenges we believe farmers must be at the centre of innovation. Farmers2Founders plays its role by supporting and working with farmers, local and global agritech startups and entrepreneurs, corporate businesses, industry, researchers and governments. We do this via our core business pillars of venture creation and growth (TEKLAB); accelerating adoption of agritech solutions on farm (TEKFARM) ; and activating regional innovation ecosystems across Australia.
