Excitement is building with AgTech firms and ecosystem leaders already reaching out to organisers to determine how they can capitalise on this major event coming to Queensland.
AgriFutures evokeAG. 2025 was officially launched last week (April 18), with entrepreneurs, key agricultural stakeholder groups and senior Queensland and Local Government figures coming together to back the event.
