Rob Appleby will be attending the World Agri-Food Tech Innovation Summit on the 30th September 2024.   Join Rob at 5:15pm, where he will be on a panel discussing “Seizing Opportunities: Strategic Moves in the Evolving AgTech Funding Landscape”. He will be joined on the panel by Alexander Corbacho, Rogier Pieterse, Anne-Valérie Bach and Eduardo Mufarej.   Chaired by Adam Anders, the panel will address the following questions:   In the past year, the agtech sector has undergone substantial consolidation. What challenges are arising in both public and private investments? How is this impacting early and later stage start-ups? How are start-ups and investors engaging with innovative strategies like roll-ups and partnerships? Where are the unique opportunities for growth and expansion through this process? What is the trajectory for the future of agtech investment? How do VCs view the current landscape and investment opportunities, and where do we see promising signs of sustained growth and recovery in the sector?

Our CEO, Mari Granström, opened the impactful panel discussion at the 2nd Mission Arena by Blue Mission Banos Project #bluemissionbanos (BAltic & NOrth Sea). The session, titled "Nurturing the regional innovation ecosystem", focused on on the support measures offered to companies and how they can facilitate success for startups in innovative blue sectors. The session involved active contributions from participants, which will help shape regional priorities. In the end, Mari revealed the action points that Origin by Ocean will be focusing on regarding the mission. One of the major focuses is, of course, regeneration. We want to make the value chain used for the chemical industry regenerative. As for the business support part of the mission, it also involves educating consumers about the value chain. Most people don't completely know what ingredients are used in their everyday products. It makes a big difference what you use at home, as most things we use on land end up in the waterways and oceans. Therefore, increasing awareness of the choices consumers make when buying products is vital. From this mission, we can actually say that we implement value chains that have an impact all the way from the feedstock, so from sea to land and land to sea. #OriginbyOcean #BlueMissionBANOS #balticsea #regeneration

Thanks to LaunchVic for supporting us. The time is right for Natural Branding Australia to make significant impacts on fruit labelling for the following reasons: 1—There is strong awareness around single-use plastics and their detrimental impact on the environment and human health. People want to see sustainable plastic-free alternatives. 2—Laser technology has advanced significantly, offering the precision and affordability needed to replace plastic labels with environmentally-friendly options. 3—Regulatory changes are on the horizon that will soon ban single-use plastic fruit labels: "The International Fresh Produce Association Australia & New Zealand (IFPA A-NZ) says it supports a national approach to banning plastic non-compostable Price Look-Up code (PLU) produce stickers" If you’d like more information about Natural Branding Australia's mission, or you're in the industry and want to connect, send Adam Chrimes a message, and let’s catch up! #Sustainability #NaturalBranding #PLU #LaunchVic #FreshProduce #PlasticFree #AgTech #Innovation #EnvironmentalImpact Quote from: https://t.ly/hKqIO
