Regrow’s Agriculture Resilience platform helps more than 100 agribusinesses, retailers and food companies globally to measure and promote resilience across their agriculture, food and fibre supply chains. 🌱🔗 The #US was Australian-based Regrow Ag's first export market. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 It was among the first companies to take part in the Landing Pads program in 2018, which was instrumental in launching the business in the US. Regrow is currently working with the Kellogg Company to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the company’s value chain by 15% by the end of 2030. “The US is a very competitive market and businesses are open to any innovation that will give them an edge,” says Regrow’s co-founder and CEO Anastasia Volkova, PhD. “The most valuable part was getting access to US go-to-market experts,” she says. “It was a game-changer hearing from market leaders on how SaaS companies like ours can go about entering the market. We shifted our thinking on our go-to-market strategy based on what we learned." Time’s running out to join Austrade’s next San Francisco Landing Pads Export Acceleration bootcamp in August. ⏰ Applications close midnight 28 July AEST – learn more: https://ow.ly/qYV550SFJGc Sunil Joshi | Daniel O'Toole | Malcolm Roberts | Madeline Ferguson | Airtree #AusBiz #LandingPads

This week the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) South Asia team congratulates and bids farewell to Head of Austrade South Asia, Catherine Gallagher, who is concluding her posting at the Australian High Commission in New Delhi. Over 4.5 years, Catherine showed unwavering commitment to Australia-South Asia trade and investment ties. Catherine’s leadership supported over 1,500 unique Australian businesses to engage with India. This week Catherine passed the baton to Dr Monica Kennedy, who has been stalwart in the region and the transnational education sector. We’re confident Monica’s leadership will see Australia and South Asia’s economic relationship go from strength to strength. Catherine won’t be going too far away though – over the next few months Catherine will be taking a sabbatical before coming back into the Austrade network in 2025. We look forward to seeing her soon!
