They have examined the funding trends that shaped 2024 and highlighted the bright spots and opportunities for the Australian startup ecosystem in 2025.  

From our viewpoint we saw a decrease in funds raised in 2024 compared with 2023 and the majority of that was debt funding compared with equity.  We generally believe things are improving with increases in the stock market and expected a rate cut albeit the weaker Australian dollar, possible trade issues, and an upcoming election are all things on the horizon to keep an eye on.  

If you are interested in the statistics on the Australian economy you can find the latest RBA chart pack here: Chart Pack | RBA.  

We also expect M&A activity to increase with the weaker dollar and we are seeing “inbound” activity from potential acquirers and investors including corporates and funds.

The Company delivers methane reducing additives to farmers and is also in the final stages of validating a carbon project to monetise the generation of carbon credits

Project Agritech is an Australian leader in livestock nutrient supplementation. The Company provides market-leading precision dosing systems that use a farm’s existing water infrastructure to deliver protein and vital nutrients, that automate and optimise livestock supplementing for farmers.

Project Agritech is also uniquely positioned to solve for the delivery of methane reducing additives in soluble form in extensive grass-fed production systems. The Company is in the final stages of validating a carbon project to monetise the generation of carbon credits.

Project Climatetech is a subscription-based, carbon offset platform directed at consumers, exclusively centred on the agriculture industry.

Project Climatetech utilises a unique fractionalisation model to offer part or full carbon credits via subscription direct to consumers and businesses – streamlining the carbon supply chain and allowing carbon credits to be sold at a retail price. The model ensures strong margins for the business and enables additional margin to be reinvested back into the value chain –creating viable new revenue streams for producers to expedite the rate of adoption of sustainable farming practices.

On Wednesday, 5 March 2025 at 12 noon AEST, we will hold the Projects Agritech & Climatetech webinar. At this event, attendees will have a chance to:

• Get to know the Companies;
• Meet the Team behind Projects Agritech & Climatetech;
• Receive the latest update from the Companies;
• Gain insights on the current opportunities;
• Ask the questions you want answered.

Timing does not suit? Please book in anyway and we will send you a link to the recording.
