Join us for our next AusAgritech Lunch & Learn: Turning your R&D Tax Incentive into growth capital.

Building an agritech business takes capital, and R&D finance can provide a way to access funding secured against your expected R&D Tax Incentive entitlement.

In this practical webinar, the team from Advanced will explain how it works, how agritech businesses are using it and where it can fit within your broader capital strategy.

Bring your lunch and come ready with questions!

🧠 Why Psychology Is a Rural Sales Superpower

One of the most practical workshops of the day is coming to the Australian Agritech Showcase on Friday 12 June — and if you sell into the agricultural sector, this one’s for you.

St John Craner, Founder of Rural Sales Success, will unpack the psychology behind selling in agritech and why most product-led approaches fall flat with farmers and rural buyers.

In this workshop you’ll explore:

✅ Why feature-creature sales mode doesn’t work in agritech
✅ The most important part of the sales process (hint: it’s not the pitch)
✅ Navigating the Buyer Brain
✅ Mastering the art of the sales conversation
✅ Why questions are the answer

🎁 BONUS: All attendees will receive a free trial of FieldCoach IO — an on-tap rural sales coaching platform available in your pocket 24/7.

Learn more about St John’s work at www.ruralsalessuccess.com

The Agritech Showcase is proudly sponsored by the Queensland Government and Charles Sturt University Agripark.

Three years. Three venues. One MC duo who somehow get better every time.

Matt Dalgleish and Andrew Whitelaw of AgWatchers are back as Masters of Ceremonies for the 4th Annual Australian Agritech Awards Gala and at this point, the night wouldn't be the same without them.

If you know AgWatchers, you know what that means: real expertise, genuine warmth, and enough wit to keep a room full of agritechs thoroughly entertained all evening.

They take agriculture seriously.
Themselves, less so.
It's the perfect energy for a night that celebrates the best this sector has to offer.

See you at the Sofitel Brisbane on 11 June: https://loom.ly/kDcdaSg
