Join us for a dynamic evening of networking and real-talk as we shine a spotlight on the women shaping the future of agriculture, agtech, and innovation.

TEKWOMEN After Dark will bring together a panel of incredible women—a startup founder, an investor, a farmer, and an ecosystem builder—each contributing a unique perspective on the journey from paddock to pitch deck. Together, we’ll unpack the ambition driving this sector and the barriers to access that still persist.

This event is for everyone who believes in building a stronger, more inclusive agri-food tech future.

Yes—men are absolutely welcome. We need all voices at the table to drive change. This isn’t about exclusion—it’s about collaboration. Join us if you’re passionate about better outcomes, smarter innovation, and unlocking the full economic potential of women in agtech.

 Did you know?

• Female-led startups consistently deliver higher revenue per dollar invested, yet receive less than 5% of agtech venture funding in Australia.
• Women on farms are often the key decision-makers in tech adoption—but are underrepresented in agtech product design and strategy.
• Research by Dr Rachel Hay (JCU) shows women on-farm play a central role in purchasing and tech integration, yet are often overlooked by the industry.

If we’re serious about transforming the agrifood system, then accelerating women’s participation isn’t just equity—it’s economic strategy.

Who Should Attend?

• Founders, farmers, funders
• Investors and advisors
• Researchers, policy makers, ecosystem enablers
• Anyone in town for AusAgritech or FutureAg Expo
• And especially the men who know that backing women in agrifood tech benefits us all.

Let’s talk access. Let’s talk ambition. Let’s talk action.

Spaces are limited - register now to be part of the conversation.

When: Tuesday 5 August
Where: Stone & Chalk, Melbourne
Drinks, nibbles & networking included
