What's next for Australia's startups with Ryan Rakestraw and Matt Macfarlane

This week we bring you our evokeAG. 2024 series with Ryan Rakestraw and Matt Macfarlane joining our contributor Jayne Cuddihy in conversation, exploring everything from what's ahead in the startup world tomorrow, to what's coming further down the road.

Part of the magic of evokeAG. are the conversations around global food production and how we can do it better, with more collaboration and innovation.

In this episode, our contributor Jayne Cuddihy spoke to two powerhouses in the global scene; Ryan Rakestraw, director of Temasek, a diversified investment company headquartered in Singapore and Matt Macfarlane, a director of AgriFutures Australia and venture capital investor.

They not only gazed into the crystal ball for the short term but looked for investment trends well into the future.

This series was recorded live at evokeAG. 2024 in Perth and explores the exceptional edge of agrifood tech innovation and a relentless pursuit of innovation at a critical juncture in time. We can’t wait to see you all on 18-19 February 2024 in Brisbane, Queensland.


Tickets are now on sale for evokeAG 2025 to be held on 18-19 February 2025 in Brisbane, Queensland. Following a sell-out event in 2024 we are encouraging delegates to secure their tickets, flights and accommodation early.

We look forward to seeing you in Brisbane for evokeAG. 2025. In the meantime, catch up on the other conversations about sustainability, climate resilience and the role of agtech in meeting those challenges from here.
