IoT in Agritech – session by Myriota

The session by David Haley, CTO and Co-Founder Myriota, was focused on the utilisation of IoT in agriculture. It was enthralling to see that IoT is slowly tapping into the unusual field of agriculture, apiculture, viticulture, aquaculture and horticulture and there are many companies who are investing capital in it.

Apart from these key sessions, the stage offered by IoT Festival where Australian startups were given a platform to pitch their products and solutions, was fascinating. Looking at the massive participation at one of the competitions and knowing that the government is constantly supporting startups in their journey, it can easily be predicted that there is a wave of change coming to the Australian business landscape.
