Excited to share that I presented my solution at EURETHON 2k24, the internal hackathon for SMART INDIA HACKATHON (SIH) 2024, and was selected in the top 25 out of 150+ teams! 🚀 My project focuses on empowering farmers by providing them direct access to essential resources and markets, cutting out middlemen and maximizing their profits. This experience has been an incredible opportunity to demonstrate how technology can revolutionize agriculture. Excited for what’s next on this journey! #SIH2024 #Innovation #Agritech #Hackathon #ProudMoment"

It wouldn’t be a trip to #bundaberg without a tour of the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. Thanks to Bundaberg Tourism, Regional Business HQ Bundaberg Regional Council and Queensland AI Hub I’ll be speaking tomorrow at the Bundaberg Region Futures Forum at Multiplex’s Exhibition Hall on the business benefits of AI. Bundy has changed a lot since I was last here; more than 10 years ago. What I see is vibrant community, lush landscapes, and rich agricultural heritage. As technology continues to evolve, so too does the way farmers cultivate their land. Modern agricultural practices are embracing cutting-edge technology, from automated irrigation systems to drone surveillance, and artificial intelligence promoting sustainable and efficient farming. Beyond agriculture, Bundaberg is fertile ground for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Local businesses are looking towards AI to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth. Whether it's using AI to analyze market trends, optimize supply chains, or personalize marketing efforts, Bundaberg's businesses are finding new ways to thrive in the digital age while staying true to their heritage. See you tomorrow. 😀
