It’s AgKonect ‘s third anniversary today. What a ride it’s been for us (Pete Whittle and Barry Sullivan, working closely with Global GBM)! We started with the biosecurity system we were providing for the Australian banana industry on an existing project. Our first contract was to provide an operations management system for the Isis Productivity Company in the sugarcane industry. We’ve had slow growth since then, exploring many opportunities, learning, consolidating and pivoting. Attending the #Foodtrack accelerator by Maersk Growth in 2018 was transformational for us in how to work as a startup. We’ve steadily added new clients and now work in mangoes, avocadoes, pineapples, aquaculture and even rural aviation as well! We can build advanced mobile data systems for any field application, but we are looking to scale up systems in a small set of focus areas over the next 12 months – stay tuned for some stories.
