Connecting the world of Agriculture,
Investment, and Sustainability
AGIS Summit
Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane
450 attendees at Australia’s largest Agriculture, Investment & Sustainability Summit.
A must-attend event.
Australian AGinvestment & Sustainability Summit
The Australian AGinvestment & Sustainability Summit (AGIS Summit) is a first-of-its-kind event in the Australian agriculture industry. It sits at the intersection of Agriculture, ESG and Finance and addresses some of the most pressing issues currently facing the Australian and Global Agriculture production systems – attracting investment to scale-up food production to meet the burgeoning demand for food from a rapidly growing global population. All while doing this in an environmentally, socially, and financially responsible manner.
Following its incredible success in 2024 with over 400 attendees, the AGIS Summit once again brought together Australia’s industry leaders at the intersection of Agricultural production, Investment and Sustainability for the 2025 event, which welcomed 450 attendees. Participants heard real-world insights on how these local and global drivers are presenting opportunities to investors, while also powering positive change in businesses and across the industry. The Summit ultimately demonstrated that investing in Australian agriculture is good for communities, good for the environment and good for business.
